Morning – Part 2 Demonstration
Morning – demonstration part 2
• The strong overhead light and reflected light bouncing all over the place in the bathroom are elements I am concentrating on here. I continued lifting to create highlights. Lifting is a technique of rubbing away the under painting leaving different values of color as more or less of the white primer shows through. Basically, this in an exercise in drawing with a dry brush, paper towels and fingers.
When completed the painting will be about texture, color temperature and light. I am really interested in the sensual interplay of the cool colors of the walls, the color and texture of the towel, and the soft warm flesh of the model’s back.
Of course at this stage you cannot appreciate the color interplay since I haven’t introduced much color yet. Be patient. It should be worth the wait if all goes well.
btw, don’t you LOVE Prussian blue. Yum.
Looking good so far – i it finished yet?
primarily burnt umber. However to cool the shadows I added the very small bit of viridian and prussian blue. The viridian will make more sense when I post the next stage.
Hey Michael, what did you use for the shadows here? Is that some of the prussian blue there or no?
