It has been a long while since I attended an open studio and I was really afraid of how the painting would turn out. But, I ended up being very happy with the outcome. In fact, I was reminded how much I love working with the figure. The figure is vastly more interesting than still life. Its much harder of course, but my struggle with spending more than a half hour on painting with still life quickly evaporated when I was in front of the figure.
After two hours into the class I felt as if I could spend all day working on this. Although thirty minutes for the class ended I began to feel the normal fatigue. I’m not sure what I’m more excited about, my excitement with the figure or how well I did after many months not working from the figure. Anyhow, it was a great success today and I will have to continue attending the Sunday class.
For obvious reasons there are no setup or subject photos…
