Burlesque Painting #3 Day 2

This is progress after the second sitting, about another hour and a half.

Burlesque Painting #3 Day 1

Here's progress from the first session, painting my wife from life. This is about 2 hours in. Oil.

Plein Air 1-24-12

At the river this morning. 8x6, oil. I kept my palette limited...alizarin crimson, cadmium yellow, ultramarine blue, and titanium white. I did, however, dip into my cadmium orange occasionally to warm up some passages.

Burlsesque #2 Complete

Finished this one up last night. 17x13, oil.

Figure Drawing 1-17-11

Some quick sketches from last night's figure drawing.

Burlesque Painting #2 Progress

Here's some more progress on this painting. Finish-line is near. I need to work on lower half (shoulder, arm, boa) and unify the background a little more.

Burlesque Painting #2

Here's another painting I started this week for the Burlesque art show. I spent a couple hours painting from life and some more time refining from photo refs. I'm hoping to finish in a couple days.

Burlesque Painting Framed

I thought I'd post my burlesque painting, framed. Finally got around to framing it.
