After about 18 hours of work I’m finished with this painting and I must say I’m excited to start the next one also.

For today’s session I’m working on the thighs for the female figure painting and I released my new blog theme.

Originally I had planned for today to be a drawing day in charcoal, but I really wanted to work on this painting.

Working on painting the subtle transition of the rib cage which is really defining the torso of this figure and has lots of interest.

Today I worked mostly on painting hair.

My days are so full. Looking at my extensive TODO list is demoralizing but as long as I just focus on moving forward it becomes a lot less stressful.

I have to remember to use an old cheap brush for a block-in like this. I tend to scumble a lot and it is really hard on the brush.
