Figure study 22 x 28 oil

This is the last painting we did in class. I finished this yesterday. It seems wierd to me to leave part of the canvas undone. The face was just a quick sketch. My instructor told me to stop and let it be before I overwork it. We will see. Someday I might go back and add to it but I will leave it for now. I do get why I need to leave it,  it is just different to me and to how I have been painting. I do really like this painting. I joined this class to push myself and go to the next level so I am open to this change.

quick figure drawing

This is just a quick 15 - 20 min drawing I did yesterday after painting the fugure above. I was happy with it. I feel as though I am getting better with practice. I LOVE getting back to the figure.

10 minute challenge

This is a little 10 minute challenge from www.dailypaintworks.com.  After dividing up your canvas you set up an object and paint it for 10 minutes.
