Drawing and Painting Marathon: out of Class Figure Study

Spring 2012

This just happens to be my first, from observation figure study in paint. I had actually painted figures only from imagination up to this point, and not that those studies were hidious, just that those were schemetized and shallow in depth. Even with such little knowlege and experience gained through Painting I, I was able to mostly successfully render some basis of the Human Forme. Overall, it does seem too high key in comparison to the rich hue and value ranges within the actual sight, it still reads as fleash without simply using flesh tone and in that aspect, it's some what successful.
