I create a theme for the life drawing groups that I coordinate..and have found that the fellow artists at the GAS and models have found this idea stimulating for the session as well as adding ideas as to evolving new pieces of artwork.https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/img_0073.jpg Colin M... week 3at the easle again...working on A2 size 200gsm cartridge paper this pastel came to life with little effort. https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/img_0069.jpg Colin M ..week 2..painting his face..from lifeAlthough I have a photo from the previous week...,I am now seated at an easle in the approximate location, though a little further away (with the other easle people )..Most of this painting you see here was carried out in the 2hour session..I detailed the eye at home..The top hat shape works for the design of the painting and is not true to the shape of Colin's head...I may add a little cream to the base where the "top" meets the "brim"...Hmmm maybe.. but overall I am very proud othis work of art. Colin loved it and i have promised it to him.2011-09-30T10:56:29+00:00monthlyhttps://jbartonfineartist.com/2011/08/11/cotton-on-clothing-store-life-drawing-with-the-company-designers/https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/img_00493.jpgIMG_0049https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/img_00181.jpgIMG_0018https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/img_0020.jpgIMG_0020https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/img_0018.jpgIMG_0018https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/img_00492.jpgIMG_0049https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/img_0057.jpgIMG_0057https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/img_0058.jpgIMG_0058https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/img_00541.jpgIMG_0054https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/img_0063.jpg..Defining the form...https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/img_0062.jpgJohn P..getting started...2011-08-11T23:19:31+00:00monthlyhttps://jbartonfineartist.com/2011/06/29/hello-world/2011-07-14T05:15:29+00:00monthlyhttps://jbartonfineartist.com/exhibitions/https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/img_0016.jpgIMG_0016https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/design_mkt_20111.jpgdesign_mkt_2011https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/design_mkt_2011.jpgdesign_mkt_2011https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/absl_catal_121.jpgabsl_catal_12https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/absl_catal_112.jpgabsl_catal_11https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/absl_catal_101.jpgabsl_catal_10https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/absl_catal_91.jpgabsl_catal_9https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/absl_catal_81.jpgabsl_catal_8https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/absl_catal_71.jpgabsl_catal_7https://jbartonfineartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/absl_catal_61.jpgabsl_catal_62011-07-07T10:28:00+00:00weekly0.6https://jbartonfineartist.com/about/2011-06-29T05:24:48+00:00weekly0.6https://jbartonfineartist.comdaily1.02025-04-17T10:18:50+00:00
