15
minute- On gessoed drawing paper- 7x10. Focus: I wasn't too concerned
with proper proportion or detail, I was only after the gesture.
Surprising how the eye can fill in the missing parts.
10
to 15 min- Hahnemuhle drawing paper coated with acrylic medium to seal
the paper from the oil- each is 7x5. Focus: These are fast and fun to
do. You only have time to get the basic shapes--dont forget to squint!
1
hour- On Centurion linen- 10x8. Focus: I was after shapes and
proportions without an preliminary drawing. Train you eye to see proper
shapes.
1
hour- On gessoed drawing paper- 10x 6 Focus: I simply wanted to see how
far I could push color. Values are the foundation for the structure.
1
hour- On gessoed drawing paper- 14x11. Focus: With this quick portrait I
was after a tonal feel, so I limited the color and kept the paint thin.
45
min- On Centurion linen- 8x10. Focus: I was after the simple separation
of light and shadow. I had some fun putting down very thick paint on
the light side.
45 min- On Centurion linen- 8x10. Focus: Sometimes we just dont have time to finish--it is what it is..no see, no hear:-)
