Woman with sheet

I think this is the finished painting without over working it. Now I will leave it to dry, however I will keep going back to look at it to see if I need to touch up anything.

Woman with Sheet - work in progress

I am trying to be adventuress and moving up in scale with my Monochrome paintings!! This one is 46cm x 33. it is no less easier or difficult that a smaller painting but I like the feel of using a larger brush and so far have only used 2 different brush sizes and one dry brush to get the effect I am looking for. I have worked on this over two days for about 8 hours and I feel it is "coming together"...

Commission

I decided to do something simpler and the image of the Cala Lily had been floating around in my head for months. I only had 2 canvases this size (8" x 24") however, these two paintings are to be a set of three. They are painted in acrylic on black gesso.

Katie 3

I think this is now a finished piece of work. I shall leave it to dry - the oil paint takes ages and hopefully it will be ready to take to London at the end of March.

Katie 2.

I have changed the material at the back left of this painting. The original was bugging me!! I am still not totally happy with the right shoulder but am not sure what the problem is..!! It looks as tho' she has a dent in her right shoulder and the shadow on the right shoulder is not right.. Anyone out there who can advise me - please do.

katie 3 Work in Progress

This is the final painting for Katie and I think it is nearly finished. I refined alot of the heavy shaddows and added more detail to the hair, face, hands and feet. I shall leave it for a couple of days to dry and finish the hair and possibly try and sculpt teh arms more as I htink they look a bit "sausage-like". I can't help but re-look at my drawings/paintings and find bits that I am not happy with! Therefore I always go back to it and try and adjust the parts that niggle me. Often I look at a work and it takes me ages to suss out what is bothering me about the work..!!! I always hope I find the problem before something is framed!!
