Thought I'd give a quick post of a 3 hour figure painting done this past week. I was able to experiment with the galkyd lite medium, and love it. I'm very pleased with the results. This time around, the model decided to challenge us with adding in her glasses. It was fun and frustrating, and was a rewarding challenge. I feel I'm finally getting a decent grip on this whole painting idea.
My next illustration should be up here shortly, meanwhile head on over here to read some solid conversation about life and art. I was able to include James Gurney's commentary on such a deep subject of human relationship and love.

the colors and brushstrokes are great - I love the warm reddish yellows and greenish blacks.
Thanks,M! I'm discovering that mixing your own black gives the painting more personality.
it's got some great warmth and mood. how would you describe the medium's drying time? Did it make your strokes smoother or tacky? Keep up the good work!
Hey Kendra, thanks for the kind words. The medium made the brush work much smoother, allowing for great texture. Although the medium is fast drying so it forces you to paint much more quickly, but that helps me with decision making within a 3 hr. session. :)
Beautiful!
nice! cool hair do
Thank you Alina and Willie!
