Workshop Discoveries

I am very excited about all the 
discoveries that were made in 
The Figure workshop on Saturday! 
Mine included! 
First I did a demo from a photo, using the 
same "One Hour" approach I use with still life. 


Then I gave each of them one of my photos of
"figures in the sunlight" to use as a reference.
These are just two samples of some of the starts.


In the afternoon we started with 10 minute 
"two value" studies using a model




Then we all painted 20 minute poses with the model seated. 
My first 20 minute.
It's hard to get the proportions correct when working that fast. 
It's a real challenge, but such fun!   

The model was fantastic! 
A great big thank you to all the gals who attended, 
especially the two that drove down from the North Shore!

  2. These look great - a two value figure drawing study does sound (and look) like fun.
