Oil – body

Watercolour – high contrast portrait

Oil – nude

Finally got some time to do another oil underpainting.

Drawing – Live model portraits

Today I went to a Meetup called Drink and Draw with a friend. It took place on a boat and it involved two live models doing poses that lasted 3-30 minutes (increasing the time each time).

This are some of the attempts that came out of it [5, 7, 30, 30 minutes].

Painting – Figure

Finally got a chance to practice some painting again.

Painting – First oil painting

After a year of wanting to do some art classes, I finally got myself to one.  I attended one of the http://www.berlinartclass.com/ classes and had a great time. We start off with a single colour in order to focus on forming the painting. It turns out that oil is not as scary as I thought.

Here’s the result:

Unfortunately I ended up with some weird lines around the wood behind the canvas. Apparently caused by the combination of a bad canvas and me brushing in those areas too often. I guess it is something that would be covered by colour once colour is applied to the canvas.

Drawing – Back

A quick one to test out the new pencils
