colors are a bit off. i'll have to wait till it dries a little more before i do more work on it. everything becomes muddy if i add much more color.

10:53 pm - edgar degas ...
|
... has always been one of my favorite painters. i've never tried reproducing any of his work, though, but i did learn a lot from visually studying his pieces. his work is balanced in complex ways, it's fascinating. i wrote a report on his piece entitled "the four dancers" in my art appreciation class. one of these days, i'll post it. but for now, i decided i'd try my hand at reproducing a portion of that piece. [a portion, because i don't have the gigantic canvas i'd rather work with in which he used for his piece. so here are the beginnings of three of the four dancers. not doing justice to degas at all:

i haven't felt this excited about a painting in a while. i really like this one. takes a lot for me to say that. could be the size, could be the energy or the colors. i don't know. it's just nifty. i tried updating this morning at 5:00, but lj was on the blitz.

the black oil stick ... i like it. but, needs getting used to. goes on very pastel like. filling in the areas with wet oil colors is tricky, as the black lines tend to smudge. so i took to just filling in as close to the line as possible, then going over and smudging the two together with a brush. the effect is lush, i really like it. it's just quite different than what i'm used to.

this is pretty large [24" x 48"]. just sketched this out. let's see how the oil stick handles these lines. i'm sure it'll be thinned down quite a bit [i.e. not as much detail]( ... )

this is the graphic i'll be using for the promotional and emails. the other is obviously still valid, and the gallery's property, i just did this one with one of the paintings i'm having on display.

4:31 pm - acrylic application ....

i applied the acrylic base colors last night. this gives me an idea of color preparation. these broad colors will be covered in oil, hopefully with better results, more refined, etc.
