And here is my handsome model Jeremy holding my painting for me.....
I couldn't find ANYTHING that I was interested in drawing so my teacher helped me pick this painting out. Not really my style, but it had all the characteristics that she wanted for this painting...it's a painting of a sculpture by MAILLOL and it's called "PENSEE."
It took me a while to finally get a feel for this sculpture. I never realized how many colors were in this sculpture until people in my class started pointing them out. It was extremely intimidating. In this painting I used a canvas board and acrylic paints. The picture below was my first day in class painting this picture of a sculpture. I spread out when I paint.....I leave my brushes to the left of me and my acrylic paints to the right of me along with everything else (napkins, spray water bottle, water cup, etc.).
Like I had mentioned before....I think I used every color in the rainbow to make this painting....reds, oranges, purple, blue, violet, etc. I REALLY struggled with this painting. There were SEVERAL times where I just wanted to give up and do something else. It was a really tough painting.....
The boobies were especially hard to paint...LOL!! But, overall, I'm EXTREMELY happy with this painting.....
So I would say, it was fun in the beginning, hard in the middle of this process, and in the end I WAS REALLY happy with the outcome of this picture!! Thanks to my supportive painting instructor!! Sorry about the fuzziness of some of these pictures....I need a new camera....
This picture above pulls out tons of colors that I used. I would say this is as close to what the picture looks like in person.....my camera doesn't do much justice for my pictures....I tried getting the glare out for a clearer pic....
VOILA!!! What do you think?!! BE HONEST!!! Honesty hurts, but I appreciate it more...LOL!! The picture above is what I used to guide me in my painting. I can't wait for my next project!!
