it's been a while since i've painted a lady...angel...or some other pretty like that. i've been haunted by it. the kind of feeling like i had to. i couldn't manage to not. i just needed my muse...my inspiration. i always paint with my eyes first. when i look at a photo, i paint it in about 2 or 3 minutes. i look over it...i imagine painting it. and that's what i did with this one. i thought this is it. this is what i'm doing next...
this is just the beginning...the underpainting, so i have a long way to go, but wanted to post since i feel like i've been in hibernation or something.
i have a plan for the background too. i still have quite a ways to go on her face...but i think i'm going to enjoy this one a lot. sometimes it just flows...and this seems to be headed that way....like i'm on auto-pilot and it's just effortless.
had a painting class with two of the sweetest twin girls ever...that's paint on the one on the right's cheek...the other had it in her hair and on her shirt. their dad said they'll be back for more classes...i hope they do! i just love helping put the love of art in someone else's life. man, if it gets in there...it's wonderous.
