magnify As promised, here's the second portrait from the live model, drawn more carefully than the previous. Bill is a friend's brother who although he'd never modeled before, did a fine job. The hat was a lot of fun, and I especially liked the shadow it cast on his forehead and hair. I'm back from Colorado and excited to tell you about the Kim English workshop. I've got to organize my photos first. Meanwhile,
Art In The Park is this Saturday the 11th in Newport Beach. If you're in So Cal, come on out and say hi!
Very nice Karen! Beautiful skin tones and job on his hair.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing about your workshop with Kim English.
Thank you, Carol. He was actually not that dark, but I had a strong warm light on my canvas which caused me to paint darker. At least that's my excuse, ha! After our painting session he told me, "Thanks for giving me a tan!"
DeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! By any chance, do you know what 3 greens are on Kim English's palette above. I believe it's a thalo greeen, a cad green pale, and not sure what the third green is that I see.Thanks:)
He mixes a green with cad yellow lemon and Payne's gray. I still use that mixture all the time. Don't know about the others.
DeleteThanks for the information Karen! Keep up the wonderful work! 🎨
