Got today's study done, just barely.

Too much time spent on this one - need to start setting an alarm again.

Knows Fun.

Yes, I am one day behind in sharing the daily study face.

(But, wow, you should see my stack of paintings that have yet to meet the good camera, that's really impressive.)

One of these days I will be caught up.

And it'd probably happen SOONER if I quit wondering about crazy things like this:

What happens if I paint it in gouache?

Oh boy. 

I had watched one of the art school live videos about turning the ref image upside down and painting it that way. 

I had done the oil study in the afternoon, and then had a few spare minutes last night, so just added another panel. And went at it upside down.

According to the video, it's supposed to help focus on shapes. 

Meh, maybe. There were definitely edits  :)

Happy Friday!

The daily study did NOT happen in the desired thirty minutes today.

In fact it took a LONG time.

Some interruptions, some backtracking, a coffee break  :)

Let's call this one most of two hours.

Today's study.

When the panel isn't big enough.

I rest my case.
