Head Study


oil on canvas panel 12x9 inches
Our model for last Tuesday night's figure painting class had a beautiful jawline. If I had had another hour I would have worked more on the hair and painted her left shoulder. I'm very happy with how the eyes came out.
In other news, I'm so happy to announce that Monday will be the one year anniversary of launching my blog! I can't believe I made it and can't believe how much I love painting daily and blogging! I have no intention to let up! Today our local paper, the Chino Champion ran a very nice article about my daily painting. Thanks, Melodie for the interview and great article! On Monday I'll post a recent painting I did just to celebrate the act of painting daily...stay tuned!
