| Tempera on paper, around A3 in size. This was sadly the only landscape from life I was able to paint there. I only managed to paint for some 40 minutes and even then, I was in our work room with the kids who decided to stay with me after their classes - so I was giving critiques to everyone around me at the same time. |
 |
| Oil sketch from today. First time ever painting the outside view from my apartment. |
 |
| Oil color study of Monet's study of a Rouen cathedral. I wish I had something more than a postcard-sized copy of this while I painted it, would be much easier to work on it! |
 |
| Color study in oil. Heavily inspired by this picture of the Neuschwanstein castle in Bavaria. |
 |
| Pencil sketch |
 |
| Watercolor sketch loosely based off the previous one |
 |
| Pencil sketch, a little bit of an experiment between careful shape design vs. loose organic lines. |
 |
| Only other drawing from life I made (and kept) during last week. A beautiful art nouveau lamp from the palace we were staying at. I wish I worked on the glow effect of it more. |
 |
| A portrait of a model at the atelier I did some 2 weeks ago. The model was lovely but she certainly didn't care about not moving while posing. Which I guess made it even more intense to draw. |
 |
| A very quick watercolor study of a small part of a Zorn painting. Again, I wish I had more than a museum postcard to study it from -- the lady on my version was smaller than one inch in size... Though obviously it didn't stop me! ;) It's lighter in color in real life. |
Take care!
