Figure Study 4

Even thought these figure studies are small paintings I’m beginning to feel like they need more that 3 hours of work. This is the fourth figure study in a series that I’m not sure how long is going to last, but I’m having fun right now so that’s what matters most.

I’m going slow, taking my time, trying not to waste any effort and making each stroke count. This may be why they are taking so long, I’ll have to break one up into a couple session and increase the working time on it to close to 6 hours and see what I come up with.

Maybe the biggest issue I have is not taking paintings to a much more finished state, I’m not sure, so I should try.

I'm an artist on a mission to do at least 30 minutes of art every single day for the rest of my life and track that progress on my website for all to see. I'm past the 10 year mark and I'm still going strong. Now it's time to give back and help other artists create a life long habit of creating.
