So.
Initial thoughts about blogging horrified me...but the longer I stay away from the studios- after my table top and one leg went AWOL, and am not prepared to cart everything in on a daily basis- the more it plays on my conscience. So this could be the best way to exercise some studio-practice-from-home-practice.
1001 is underway, in my head. Just need to get it organised.
1010 is giving me grief. Am focusing on the female nude and getting used to oil paint. Might sound a good thing to be kept up for the umpteenth night on the trot by a naked woman but I just can't find my mojo. I really wanted to paint a figure in a pose that has loads of light and dark effects, some tricky foreshortening to tackle, and a visible hand- because they're always agonising to get just right.
Oh and an awkward pose, to sort of suggest a reluctant nude.
Its taking ages, layering up, adding a bit of detailed shading then realising that the proportions are wrong... I could kick myself!! Anybody else out there that just can't really get going?
