Despite a late start, I worked on 5 separate pieces today, and made good progress on all of them. I'm especially pleased with the way the figure has developed in A Rainy Night In Alexandria; it has almost a photographic realist sense now. I've never done quite as well with a figure before... Well, maybe Night Coming On...
The day started off with:
I finally overcame my fear of placing the hanging baskets on the right side, and filled in some areas that were bare.
This one also took some courage. I rubbed off the entire face with sandpaper and then started over again. It's nowhere near done, but it's much better now. I enjoy working on this one of a healthy man (note pink in cheeks) who loves living his life. It will be a nice addition to the America series.
Ah, today's winner. I'm very happy with the subtleties on the figure. And I didn't like the tails on the raindrops, so I eliminated them.
Since art school, there is little that makes me happier than adding layer upon layer of Alizarin Crimson. But I also worked on the turnstile bars today.
Tried to marry the wood colors in the counters with glazing. I think it worked.
Looking forward to tomorrow!
