'Where it all Begins!' - Life Drawing workshop

 

Well, what does everyone think?....this one is a bit different to my usual nudes and life drawings.

 

Today I attended a Life Drawing workshop - 'Where it all begins!' 

The workshop is designed to remove the self critic approach to drawing and painting.

This process evokes many feelings allowing the artist to take risks in forming their own unique marks.

 

The workshops are held at Murumba Downs, if anyone is interested in attending next months workshop, contact Julianne Janbroers or Todd Whisson on Ph 3886 2865 or email todd.whisson1@optusnet.com.au

Unititled Nude - FINISHED

Well she's finished....well I think she is.  There's a few things that bother me....I'm happy with the figure, it's just the background that didn't work out how I wanted.  I guess 'artists' are often like that, there's always something that annoys us about a particular work, or sometimes they just never seem to be finished. 

My daughter doesn't like the white that I painted around the face and head....what do you think?

Untitled Nude - Work in Progress

Another update.....I'm happy how the figure has progressed, now I just have to figure out what to do with the background to finish off.

close up of 'face'

 

I was hoping to be, not so detailed with this one....I started out wanting to be a bit more 'free' with my brush strokes, but I'm heading back to my usual style of detail and hard lines.  Oh well, can't help who we are or how we paint, lol.
