Friday night long pose, bit of clean up today

Not that it's cleaner, in fact I muddied it up a bit.

Me, Oil.

Mostly, trying to match skin tones in the mirror.

April 5 long pose

Oil, March 23 2013

Sat with Greg and mixed the same colors as he did. He's getting further with colors than I am. We both painted his image in a mirror. Might try the same of me using acrylics, but it seems to be easier in oil.

Aack, my paintings are getting worse and worse. This transition from drawing is hard.
So I'll post some old stuff. 

I'm proud of these ones:

They're from Long pose drawings, under Links on the right side of this page.

First Friday night long pose with acrylics

I've been taking a portrait class taught by Elaine Despins. The point of a blog is to see progress, right? So this is my starting point.
