Painting Class May 11 -18 2008
here is the final painting.... thought I had posted!!!!
May 11
Worked mainly in the seascape. Worked on the clouds, land, and the sea.
May 18
Later at home I decided that the sea needed work,and wanted to change the land as well. Worked on the window frames as well. Didn't photograph the work at this stage and continued to do more work mainly on the curtains in class.

Have started a new project. Two canvases for Naomi..... may have bitten off more than I can chew this time. Naomi loves the Dali painting, Woman at the window, that was used for a best selling book cover, Sophie's Island, Hebrew edition, which will be my reference image.
Using the motive of a figure looking out of the window at a seascape decided to use as models my daughter and husband. Each on on its own canvas.
Sketch with base color ochre. Sketch of Naomi is very light because I redid her putting her closer to the left side of the window.
Second stage blocking in some colors.

Again getting practice in doing portraits I chose the lovely portrait of Mathila's friend. Done in my Canson A4 90grm sketch pad. Done with a 2B mechanical pencil. The tilt of the head was a bit off... but reasonable likeness.
April 11 2008
All done in Canson 90grm A4 sketch pad
That main coast image invited me to try out my Derwent pastel pencils... had a hard time with the grays.... lots to learn with this media
About an hour ..
Darla was a 20 minute sketch, 2B mechanical pencil!!
April 4th 2008
Did three versions of Robin reference. All done in canson 90grm A4 sketch pad.
First I tried out my new sanguine charcoal pencil.... about 20 minutes...
Then I did a fast pencil sketch... about 15 minutes .... and then without the image on my monitor... blotched it with the color.... Lyra watercolor crayons fulfilling the challenge to use our own colors!
