Painting Sara


We have added a long pose day to our Life Drawing. Instead of several poses we have 10 short gestures (2 minutes) each and then one pose for the last couple of hours. I have been going on that day and doing acrylic paintings on paper. I gesso the page first and add texture with a rough brush or scraping tools. Then I begin to scrub, wipe out, add the paint. I am not trying to make a realistic rendering, but let the paint lead the way with the model as the inspiration. Here are the paintings from the last 2 weeks with Sara as our model. These paintings are about 16x22".
