Open Figure Drawing Workshop 008 with Hong Ly and Rebeccak

#216

Mr. Mu,

Have you tried Art Rage? It’s free. I’ve had friends who have used it and just rave about it. :slight_smile: Also, do you have / use Photoshop? Just trying to get a handle on what programs you have at your disposal. :slight_smile:

Why be down? You’ve come a long way on this piece, and the next piece will be better. One thing to remember is that the point of these Workshops is not to come up with a final, beautiful piece, necessarily ~ though in honesty, there are many elements in your painting which are really starting to come together brilliantly and become beautiful ~ but rather, to practice techniques so that you learn how to SEE. Ultimately, the challenge is to look harder and to more accurately judge and translate what you see. Your next piece and subsequent pieces will be better. Trust me. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

Whaouw… I really like your lighting Mr Mu… especially for the upper parts… :thumbsup:

I agree with Beckie about ArtRage… this free software is very little, but very funny… it’s interface is very fast and intuitive… I should be use it for a next pictures… mmmh… -> todo list :scream:

hi everyone,

new day, new luck… Thanks so much for all the nice comments on my painting!

I do know artrage. In fact, my gruffy bearlike me which has become my avatar was done with artrage. Its (artrage’s not the bear’s:scream: ) memory management is really superior to artweaver’s as I could use rather High-res there.

However, it is altogether too limited. Alea iacta est.

I might just give artrage a try for the OFDWs, though. And as I can’t afford Painter yet, I will have to cope with whatever I have at hand in the meantime, anyway.

Thanks again for cheering me up and all the nice comments!

Zhuzhu… Really… BEAUTIFUL… works…:thumbsup:

Have you tried this technique on silk or satin yet…if not, give it a try…it has a whole
different feel to it on that type of surface…better… does’nt dry as fast, and ink spreads
out differently and in a lot of ways better than it does on paper.
Just thought I would mention it, in case you have not tried it yet…:slight_smile:
There are some great paintings done on silk, in the Museum OF Fine Arts in Boston, that
are over a thousend years old, from China, so that technique on silk holds up, and does’nt
crack or anything over a long period of time. Some amazeing silk scrolls with dragons comeing
and going thru the clouds, landscapes with people, and animals…ect…Very atomospheric.
Great, and ancient technique you have MASTERED…:thumbsup:
Take Care
Glenn

FouLSouL,

Whew! I’m finally back in town (yay, travelling is rough!) and it’s great to see your work! :slight_smile: You’ve got a great start here, do you plan to continue with this pose? I agree with you, the model is great and the pose quite inspiring…I hope you continue to work on your piece! :slight_smile:

Per,

Great to see you here, and I quite like the blocky proportions on this one! :slight_smile: Hope you will have the time at one point to finish an OFDW piece, we’re happy to have you!

Cheers, :slight_smile:
