My Class Painting

Still lots of work to do but it wasn't easy. No base drawing just blocking from a photo. It's got problems but it gave me a chance to use oils after 30 years.

Great!

Tom Moon said...

Nice job. Did you get some useful feedback and advice from the instructor?

JMG said...

Yeah, this is still unfinished but I wanted to show the progress

Pretty dang good. Just really internalize that planes of the head and do the edges. Lost-hard and soft (in the right places)

Looks like it's really coming along!

I esply like the ruffled portion of the scarf that is obscuring her neck/chest. Very nice feel! And nice color, too!

Rickart said...

Yup... this is a strong piece. Nice work, Jim!

BDMontag said...

Has Andrea passed on any helpful instruction or insights?

JMG said...

Not at this point. Only at the beginning.

JMG said...

Thanks All!

MrGoodson2 said...

do a flip on it and see if you still like it

JMG said...

Already did that

Beata said...

Jim, your palette here is quite marvelous ... looking forward to seeing the finished piece! I hope she doesn't lose the "glow" I see emanating from her at this stage.

I'm VERY glad you're painting again. :)

MrGoodson2 said...

So when you flipped it, did you see anything that you said, must physically alter that?

MrGoodson2 said...

I like Beata's comments. and agree.

JMG said...

Yeah, there is some stuff I need to fix and yes......I like the glow and need to keep it
