Quick Post with Underpainting

Thought I'd show what I had so far on the underpainting front. The figure is underpainted in purple (dioxazine violet mixed with burnt umber and titanium white). And yes, what you're seeing is the image painted over two canvases, each measuring 20" X 16".


Still got a ways to go.

And a closeup of the face:

I'll post more when I have more progress. Or when the nice men in white coats come and take me to my new studio with padded walls. Wheee!

That's lovely, i was expecting something a little different when i saw your sketches, but i know you were trying out different ideas and it wouldn't be the final piece (of course)

your work is always so inspiring, and i think part of why i spend so much time sketching and working at home is because i want to be like you when i grow up. with my own style of course!

I bet the model is going to love this when its finished, i hope you show it to her!
