Just need to get it organised.</div><div><br /></div><div>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. </div><div>Oh and an awkward pose, to sort of suggest a reluctant nude. </div><div><br /></div><div>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?</div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>   </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5724406983256051372-4892776363520870049?l=christine-edwards.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12917505988021595082noreply@blogger.com0
