Hello,
Here is a recent oil sketch I did at the Colorado Academy of Art last week. If anyone's in the area, they have great classes as well as about 4 open studios per week, clothed and nude models.
This is Ivan. He was kind enough to pose with his eyes closed. While it wasn't for my benefit I had enough to be going on with still getting used to colors/value/temperature! I was working with a very limited palette - Yellow Ochre, Alizarin Crimson, Burnt Umber, Ivory Black and Titanium White (I think that's it.) It really helped a lot. I was especially surprised by the lovely green I was able to get with black/white/yellow ochre. Who woulda thunk?
Any comments are welcome.
Thanks for looking.
