yuck -- ASL Figure Painting: June 15 - 26 [Karina, Karina, Maria, Maria]

The model poses change every 2 wks, so in this, our 3rd wk of the session, we're into our second set of models/poses.

In the first week, we did a series of 4 one-day studies.
We're supposed to direct special attention to getting the colors right.

1. Abstraction to simpler geometric shapes.
2. Application of paint with palette knife only, no brushes. (Isn't it interesting how much shinier this makes the paint?)
3. Memory painting of model seated directly behind us, or out of line-of-sight.
4. Non-dominant hand--for me, left hand only to mix and apply paint. It drove me crazy.

I really, really didn't want to post these but, by this point, it seems unscientific not to! So, for the sake of science...
