Painting - Day 12 - 30th Hours

          As planned, I put up the 2piece painting up against the wall before painting anything tonight - so Marcy and I can get a feel of how it's going to look in the Senior Thesis Show. We were playing around with the arrangement of the smaller paintings around it. She suggested for me to paint more cropped body parts to tie in the other 3 small paintings. . . . hhmmm.....

After realizing the proportions were completely off and especially the lower body... I went back into this painting again and made corrections with the black gesso. (This pose was a little harsh on Vannya's body after a long period of time posing for me :/..hhhmm... I'm glad it's almost over so she can be more at ease sitting for me. )

          Then I moved onto the 2nd stage of the second large figurative painting, I incorporated the finely shredded papers that was found in the hall way a couple of weeks ago. The paper helped blotting out the area of the figure, so I don't waste paint covering the light, mid-tones, and dark areas - while confusing myself at the same time. @_@"  However, the scale of this painting was still giving a tough time, but I tried to make it work and it seemed to be slightly easier than the last painting session ^.^
