Hush Hush

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.

Fallen Angel

It's very liberating being able to use bold colors and stark outlines. I started the painting in my live model class with Olya Losina and did the final touches in my studio. Olya often tells us not to try too hard to make things "perfect". Many paintings were destroyed because the artists can't stop messing with them.
