I know I am posting this late, but my day was busy with some of my favorite things: painting in the morning, gardening in the afternoon, then canning in the evening. Yes I like canning, something cool about growing your own food, putting it up for the Winter. Kind of old fashioned but thats me.
This painting I started at the open house for the Flint Institute of Arts, and it was painted with the same colors of the painting from yesterday. I worked on both paintings at the same time. I find that working on 2 paintings will keep me from over working one. I taped several 1 and 2 minute gesture drawing on the wall in front of my easels and used them for reference. One suggestion I can make is, if you ever have the chance to take life drawing please do. There is no other form of drawing that will fine tune your skills as much as having to draw the human figure from life.
