This is my first time taking part in the north county drawing group at A&C Studio. Catherine was very nice and introduced me to a new color called "Cerulean Blue Chrome". She used this color in many of her paintings along with burnt sienna. The studio was filled with the smell of fresh coffee and beautiful light music. The model was lit by warm light from the left, pale studio lights and blue skylight from the top. Three hours went by in the blink of an eye.
A painting inspired by the fish tank we set up over the weekend. I found myself obssessed and unable to stop staring at those poor frightened goldfish. "In a month, " Monk said "they will swim to the top when you get close." "just like the movie! " I yelled excitedly " in "Children of Heaven", when the boy dips his feet into the pond after failing to win a pair of shoes for his sister, a group of goldfish swim to the top and surrounded his blister-covered feet as if caressing them and soothing his pain.
