Also, my first work without using photo reference.
This is a painting of a portrait sculpture that is painted plaster. I did this in about two hours in my class. With luck, we'll be having the subject of this sculpture as a sitter later in our class series.
I can't believe how awkward it feels to use a brush and paint! I realize my brushwork and wipe-outs are very rough. I am so spoiled with my pastels. I just need to do a lot more work with brushes to try and get the hang of it. I have a whole new appreciation for wet media!
I did manage a decent likeness of the piece by measuring carefully with my trusty see-thru ruler.
