This is a painting from our live model sessions a couple months ago. We generally have the same model and pose for 4 weeks: three 3 hour sessions per week, which equals out to about 36 hours. But the model will generally pose for 20-30 minutes at a time then take a 5-10 minute break. So I would guess I spent closer to 24 hours on this painting.
Is there a charcoal drawing underneath, or did you simply start painting? Looks great!
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't do a charcoal drawing first. I basically drew it with the paint before adding the values. I've been taking progress pictures of a figure painting I'm doing now and I'm going to post the pics. Take a look and you can see the different stages. Thanks for your comment!
