Session #425, Work #405

I’m really itching to paint from the figure and since I don’t have nude people at my beck and call I setup a mirror and paint myself.

Tonight was still a focus on value and drawing so I just used black on a white canvas. Actually this whole painting was like using charcoal, maybe I should have just used charcoal, it would have been easier.

I am an Artist and a programmer currently living in the amazing state of Washington. I have a passion for art, but I'm stubborn as hell with it. My day is complete only when I do some piece of art each day, no matter how small. "There was a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish, it was so fragile."
