nocturn layer 2

I'm frustrated by this photo because it seems to have lost all the nuances of the many tinted layers. I think I want to leave it similar to this, I really like all the textures of thick and thin that you only get when you see it in person.

more figure drawing

Just came across more figure sketches and thought I might upload them for posterity's sake...

The first three are from a series of quick studies (no more than 5 -10 mins each I think) at the Cantor Arts Center's Rodin sculpture garden last fall:




These other two are much older, they are both from a night class in fall 2006

(here my drawing was printed on a transparency, painted in layers, then cut out for a paper doll project...which I might end up uploading in a later post)

October 2009

I'm stuck on this one, I know it isn't quite done, I think there is more build up that needs to happen in the liver tones before it really speaks to me. This is done over the second and central canvas of Ark.
