Finishing touches now

I am now at the stage where I haven't signed the painting yet but feel it is done. I'll look at it over the next few days and then decide if there's any areas that I could work further on.

Working on the jeans

I began work on the blue of the jeans, section by section.

Figure drawing today

We had a new model, Diana, and all really enjoyed working with her. Here are some of my offerings.

Beginning the flesh tones

Started working on the flesh tones - there will be more layering on top of this

Underpainting done!

Looks to me like I got the underpainting done today, though there will probably be all kinds of adjustments after I check it over more closely.

Jeans!

Got a bit further with those jeans today. Takes quite a lot of time.

Today's Life Drawings : Harry

Good to be back to drawing today - felt alive and confident, maybe since I had a better sleep last night!

Finally I got back to the studio today, and carried on work on the Matthew piece.
