Fatigue: Finished?
I finished the rest of the background today and I’m debating if I’m actually done.
THE DAILY ARTIST
I finished the rest of the background today and I’m debating if I’m actually done.
I finished up the foot on the figure today, it’s not as detailed as I would like but I’m not sure it needs to be.
I was influenced by an earlier figure painting of mine with a darker background.
I love the greens and blues that I see in skin especially when working on feet and hands.
I’m happy that I’m well enough now to get back to work on this painting.
So I have contracted some illness and I’m very sick, I still painted today but it was very simple.
I’m always thinking about edges and trying not to make them too sharp.
You might notice a difference in the colors of the painting in this post from every other post of the same painting.
There is a hand barely hidden by the body, only half of two fingers are showing, but it needs to look like a hand.
I’m running out of things to talk about on this painting right now so I’m just painting.
Having a basic artistic knowledge of anatomy helps you see what to paint.
The block-in is done and now it’s time that I start getting detailed.
I’m done blocking in most of the figure and I will be able to work on the fun stuff next session.
This session I’m just feeling too tired to do more than just put paint down.
I had little progress on this session, I spent most of my time fixing what I didn’t like from last session.
I’m not focusing enough on what I’m doing and its leading to a mess of strokes.
It feels like a long while since I painted and my actions with a brush are a bit rusty.
I’ve finished the drawing refinement and next session I will be starting with oil.
I spent close to an hour doing some drawing refinement on this new painting.
