playing

just at the stage where i can just play around with the drawing, and just try and let the image form without too much planning. Started with a suggestion from a friend, then pushed it around till I felt I'd had enough.
too much fun!

hot pink flaps

the results of today's morning session. I had fun!!
havent touched oils for about 1.5 months so be nice..and gentle ;)

more

got a bit busy with things but here is another couple hours work.
messing around and trying out colours, composition, etc. not committing to too much at this stage.

Progress

hey all, knocked out a bit more on this today, had to work sun/mon.

top is after acrylic wash, bottom is before.

Going to work into the wash now and add the foreground elements- she is summoning some flowers that will be coming out of the barren soil!

Today

Just got around to starting a new drawing today. Yesterday's efforts were a TOTAL abortion, just had a shocking day and started about 4 new works, none of which worked and were all subsequently scrapped.
finally got to a good rhythm today, and managed to salvage what would have been a wasted weekend.
gotta work tomorrow, bummer!!

And body in progress, just tweaking the theme of the last one into a slightly different direction- she will be manifesting some 'flowers' coming out of that dirt in the final.





Head- spent some time fixing it up and making some improvments, unifying elements and strengthening with more acrylics + rendering.
