Painting of Dory(Stage 5)

November 03, 2008 • Dory • life painting

Another 2 hours with Dory. I ran into all sorts of difficulties,..........not my ideal painting morning, but I still enjoyed the challenge! Hope to do better next week.

I was able to get another 2 hours with Dory yesterday and It was fun painting from life once again. The opportunity to mix what you see right in front of you and the way it keeps changing with the lighting, mood and sitting of the model. We had some nice discussions while painting and she never ceases to wonder how she has so many colours on her face- in my eyes.
