So, this week I'm finishing up a diptych of blind contours, arm to finger, filled in with diagonal lines that will change direction every section of arm....

colors are uncertain right now but I'm working on cream paper. I love printing on cream paper, but if I hadn't already ripped these sheets into 15x24s I probably would have used white paper for this one.

More to come...

Artist Emulation

I'm doing a direct-copy of Alex Kanevsky's J.F.H with Her Portrait for Painting 1. I started Sunday night by blocking in color and worked a bit more on Monday morning. All together I spent around 4 or more hours before I started photographing my progress.

I came into the studio again last night (Monday still) and started taking pics to document progress. My next painting will be the actual emulation--I'll be creating my own image but use his approach, subject matter, stroke, and palette...I'm looking forward to it

Kanevsky photographed his process here, it's beautiful, check it out.

Here's my process so far, trying to work out the bugs...
