Class Time: Wash 2

Img_0010

Here's my second wash (underpainting) of the same woman slightly different angle. Proportions are better than the first wash but still not perfect. I had 2 hours less time also so I'm already seeing improvement.

Last week we started learning about color and how to mix to achieve any color you need to reproduce. It's opened up my eyes to color like I've never been able to understand before. No more guessing games.

Class Time

Img_0008

Had my first painting session in the class I'm taking. For the next couple classes we're just concentrating on the underpainting in raw umber. We're doing a wash from a still-life model each class which is a first for me. I realy like this technique and it makes a lot of sense to get proportion and value down quickly.

How you say, damn!?

I just found Jeremy Geddes’s work and am utterly amazed. Check his blog out too, very inspirational oil paintings. He does quick studies of each painting in color to get tone and composition down before committing to the large canvas. I know that’s probably a good idea, but damn I don’t have the patience for that.

Realistic Figure and Portrait Painting Class

I’ll be taking my first real class starting 1/29/10 at SVA in Manhattan with Marvin Mattelson. I started oil painting about 4 years ago on and off. I took a very beginner class when I first started but pretty much have been teaching myself from trial and error, books, web etc. This will be my first real technique course and I’m really excited. I’m not too into traditional portraits but I feel I need to know the fundamentals before I can go off, even if I want to paint abstractly. I’m sure what Marvin has to teach will be impactful  on my work. Stoked.
