The Bathers Cont.

I forge forward in the first instalment of the trio: my portrait of these lovely ladies, these beautiful bathers.

The bathers begin

Trifecta

M y painting prof. has assigned our next project to be a triptic series - three paintings that make up one whole. Essentially this is so broad because you can do three of anything and make a whole.

So I just sat down and watched some good online TV while fiddling with some watercolour drawings for ideas. These three are my product. (Unfortunately the images are a little muddy here..)

I tri-ed.

Waves of change

A h.
What can we say about work and time? To change for the worst like bread and milk? Or for the better, like cheese and wine?

I don't know, whatever.

This painting came from a photograph. But I didn't want it to look like a photograph. So I did lotsa stuff to it. Now I don't know.

The progression is neat to look at, though.

Watch your fingers

W rite the test.

But don't let it bite you back

Keep your fingers curled into a ball

To keep your knuckles intact.

W hen you were young you were the king of carrot flowers

and how you built a tower tumbling through the trees

In holy rattlesnakes that all fell around your feet

And this is the room

One afternoon I knew I could love you

And from above you how I sank into your soul

Into that secret place where no one dares to go

Life Drawing Session 2

A few more life drawings from today's session. This delightfully hefty model was kind of fun to do...

Elegant pondering

J ust playing around....

Isn't this light in your eyes just lovely?

My house is full of birds and pretty things

B ecause I'm so so attentive in all my classes, I sketched this little guy during... ok, I don't even remember.
It's just in my sketchbook and the picture is a little blurry unfortunately, but I like it. Perhaps it shall become a painting or something in the future.

Life Drawing Session 1

F or my drawing class we've had a few model sessions, and this is a 20 minute conte drawing from a few weeks ago.

Wavy painting

T his is a painting I just started for class last week. Definitely a work in progress.

It's based on a photograph taken by my uncle.

It's going to change drastically after this. Wooohoo
