Looking for differences
Years and years of Monday night figure drawing. How many have I been doing this? I don’t even want to try and “figure” it out! Not the post of the first painting and that of the one two below it. They are exactly the same. Different model, different session. Slightly different angle. But the are really very different from each other. I like painting from a reclining model from the feet first. Foreshortening is not an easy view to being off. 32 to 45 minutes if the amount of time that I have for these kinds of sketches. I usually set some kind of objectives at the beginning of a pose, such as limited color, or heavy outlines - lots of drawing, exaggerated perspective, etc. Unlike landscapes, I really try to make something different happen from what is in front of me.
