Maria
SAS guided Open Studio again. And so much fun, again. This Open studio was more instructional in nature, based on the overall students' preferences, a bit more a painting demo and color mixing lesson.
The session has 6 available hours to paint, but I don't know really how many of those I used for this study.
Maria is a terrific model, still as stone. You can see in the upper right hand corner some little color mixing demo notes, looking for colors of skin in shadow/light, background in shadow/light,etc. There's also a little placing-the-pupil diagram.
Another Open Studio session is coming up in July

I LOVE the anatomical knowledge behind the construction of that nose.
I am completely amazed by rare minds like yours that can both DEMO and paint (and speak to a group) at the same time.
Six hours would fry my brain.

Dear Mari,
Thanks for your comment and your humor.
I saw a young teenager at the mall recently - her t-shirt said "I could talk all day". I need one of those t-shirts.
I can only try to imagine the intense focus of what you are doing -6 hours would definitely be overload. I think that Bill Whitaker said that 3 hours or so was his max before needing to get away, nap, whatever.
I can usually work about 4-5 hours , then my brain is too tired, and I will start to make mistakes.

PS The anotomical stuff behind th nose construction has to do with two things;
1. observation, and
2. anatomy - all that I learned in Ginger Leyendeckers class, and Karen Taylor's course on forensic drawing.This study told me what to look for.

Chris, not only have you constructed a really strong head with color, I see some really nice subtleties in the changing angles that are beginning to come out more in your work. It's such a joy to look at, and thanks for posting the closeup.

Chris, you've articulated two principles that I hold dear:
A balance between what you see (observation) and what you know (anatomical studies).
You're an inspiration.

Hi Chris,
I love the close-up. It's always interesting to see what goes into the build up of a face. I was just looking at your book for how you handled kids in the sun. I noticed with interest how your work and style as changed over the years. Pretty cool!
