Finished this one up today

Torso Study, 36″x36″ oil on canvas

Revisited this piece and have been making some good progress on it the last few days. Should be able to finish it tomorrow. 

This video is first few hours into painting my model Jessica. It was cut short because the camera ran out of memory space during shooting. Also the there is a lot of glare..Next one will be of better quality.

Done with grisaille on the head. Can’t wait to start colorizing next session.

New piece started when I probably shouldn’t have, since I have several other unfinished pieces hanging around. But who can resist that excitement of beginning a new painting. Few shots from the first sesh.

Process shots from last night’s fun sitting with Caye. Worked on the face the majority of the couple-hour sitting and knocked in the figure at the last minute, but I kind of like the look. I also tried toning the canvas with vibrant colored brushstrokes. Click on images to enlarge.

I began this painting by laying in few lines to indicate the general placements/composition, using burnt umber oil paint with rather large brush.

I began defining.developing more..

I started getting into forming the face, using more opaque paints of burnt umber and titanium white.

I continued to define the face..

Continued defining the face using smaller brushes now..

Began adding colors while continuing to define the face and adding hair.

To be continued..

Happy New Year everyone! I will post more this year.
