I have been working on this acrylic for a while. Longer than I meant to. I have been allowing things to distract me. Not just random things, but things that DO need attention. (I take several other classes And have a family).
Every time I go to this painting, I just wouldn't feel it. Here is the last session:
Today I attempted again. Actually felt closer to it. I think I have the concept so wrapped up in my head and all the other paintings (still to come), that it is hard to focus on just the one.
I used a lot of yellow today. I must have been in a good mood, lol.
Still have a couple of more layers (flowers and misc), but tomorrow I think I'm going to lay out the next painting. I have the canvas ready. My fear: the next one kind of feels like this one....
This is my model :) I didn't notice the finger until I printed the picture. hehehehe...
I have lots of other pictures that I have been using. Looking at this one now, the shadows are way better. It's the wrong angle, but I think I will use it. Picking his nose may even fit the concept.. no, too much, lol.
Painting: I chose to paint noisy in the background and keep the subject clearer. If you could see the painting in person, you could see what I am saying easier. I don't normally paint with black, but have chosen to use it in the backgrounds only of this series. I think it will add to the mood.
