I learned a lot from my last post. It wasn't until last week did I realize that I'm getting more comfortable with painting. I used to use a lot of turpentine & less paint but was told by a classmate that the paint already has oil in it that there's no need for too much turpentine. In fact, she doesn't use turpentine at all but to clean her brushes! Crazy! I noticed my paintings looked like watercolor bc of the turpentine :/
The painting on the left is an example of bad placement lol. I didn't mean for the whole subject to be so far right. Anyway, my professor taught me to choose the very center of the whole subject I want to show in my painting & base measurements around that. But it was too late, I started from right to left already....** Notice I am still using raw umber & have not mixed colors yet. I tried in one of my paintings but I hated it lol.
This is my first painting of a model.... its alright I think. I'd love my portraits to look more human & less cartoonish though.
