Foreshortened

Our model liked this pose. She could relax.

20 min sketch from last night's class

Charcoal on a small Ingres paper. Nice for drawing.

Figure...work-in-progress

 Got a bit more work done on this painting today. Nearly there.

Skull Drawing

Since I am studying the figure and we have such a nice skeleton in our studio, I am beginning with the skull. Pastel pencil on black Canson paper. 9 x 9".

Feet

Foreshortened too....tough! Not sure it worked!

Hands

Working on drawing hands, so will add a few of those during these next few posts. We have a great model.

After Muybridge

I am interested in the moving figure and this. Pencil image above is from Muybridge's The Human Figure in Motion, plate 103, top, Woman Running. I sketched every other plate out of 8.
This sketch took several days.

Watercolor Pencil

This photo is a little blue. I used a photo from a magazine as a reference and the watercolor pencils were really fun.

Finished Venus

Here is my finished Venus of Willendorf. I measured and it is 24 x 30", so quite a good size! Consider that the original sculpted figure is about 4.25" tall... Thanks to Jane (Terzis) I used a 2" brush and "got messy".

Oil on panel.

Venus of Willendorf

Sketch done a couple of years ago.

Initial paint applied several days ago. This is oil on panel, approx 24 x 30".

Worked on this over the weekend ... almost finished.
