These two are done I think. Quinnie has a few proportional issues, but overall I’m happy with it. The encircled food is done. I added a little detail to the shallot but otherwise, it’s painted. I go back and forth about inking the pencil lines but right now that’s a no….
Here’s another sketch I worked on last week. I’m trying to work out a balance between drawing and painting, but maybe it changes with each subject.
The still life is brilliant. It's so bright, vibrant and active. I wouldn't bother inking any of those lines. I like the softness of your portraits--there's just enough line and the forms are fully modeled, but sweet and gentle.
ReplyDeleteLove the still life. Those peppers are beautiful and the onion skin finished the shallots. I still love your portraits. That wispy quality gets me every time.
ReplyDeleteThis really shows off the different styles of your paintings. And they're both so effective in completely different ways. Isn't that cool? Yea, you don't need any ink lines on the still life, it's amazing as is. And your portraits are so fresh and alive, with just enough gestural pencil line and softened color shapes to give them form for the moment.
ReplyDeleteBoy that red pepper pops, like to could put out my eyeball. And love the strange attractors on the table. In class I was a little shaky about what was a strange attractor so I am going to look up a more academic definition.
ReplyDeleteThe term 'Strange Attractor' is used to describe an attractor (a region or shape to which points are 'pulled' as the result of a certain process) that displays sensitive dependence on initial conditions (that is, points which are initially close on the attractor become exponentially separated with time).
There. And here are some pretty pictures:
