2nd Session Lead with your Heart

 

I’m not sure if I’m calling it “done” yet- but this was the result of my second (technically 3rd) session with this figure painting.working from my iPhone for this has been challenging- (maybe even stupid.)

Lead With Your Heart- #1. Asana Series, 

Going Deeper

 Gouache studies for my “Prana Series”- I will say this: these got more and more fun, and more and more loose. 

Lead With Your Heart

 A new series begins. It might be autobiographical.

Begin Again

 I’m excited to get to work on a new series that I connect deeply with. Tonight I worked a study from my  I phone, and prepped canvas using a yellow ochre base. 

A Quick Study-

 Contemplating going bigger with this. 

Annisquam- session 3

 Another session with this painting. Tonight was session 3- (3hrs) It’s coming together (I think I need a second opinion). Wondering where I can let go here.  I’m trying to stay committed to not killing myself on a school night- but wanted to end on a high note. That took until 11pm.

Annisquam- First Pass

 

A few things have been factors in me slowing down and changing my process I think. 1. I’m reading a biography on Leonardo. Value studies are important. 2. I usually push a painting to almost completion during my first session, and then I’m all wired and can’t sleep. I’m trying to sustain my practice. If not increase it. If I work until exhaustion, then can’t sleep, I will resist studio time knowing that it throws a wrench into my flow.
