Mondays (Portrait and figure drawing)
These are 3 day poses with charcoal pencil. I feel my early stages are very awkward and I am currently struggling with the materials.
Tuesdays (Color study)
Homework:
5 values of each of the colors in the Incamminati palette.
I found that my color studies are staying more vibrant, intense with saturation, keeping the effect of light now that I keep this taped to my easel for reference.
In figure color studies we did an exercise for an hour and a half under our standard artificial lighting, then a second study of the same pose with a blue color gel covering the light.
It’s more important to capture the temperature of the light than the local color.
Wednesdays (Structural drawing and painting)
3 hour graphite pencil study
Thursdays and Fridays (Figure painting)
3 hour poses
Fridays (Cast painting)
2nd pass with the underpainting, this time hitting the lightest values with the white and the darkest values with the ivory black/burnt umber mixture.
