Damn SaraD, your skintones are getting better all the time! You really capture the model beautifully.

This is the latest task in the Open Figure Drawing Workshop - a mastercopy. So much fun, and so hard to do… Damn, he was a good painter :bowdown:


The original painting can be seen here

Struggling on

#24

Needed another object to paint, and left the figuredrawing to concentrate on some portraiting instead. Just a WIP.

#25

Very cool to see this, Ms. D! Does the background at the moment look a bit apocalyptic? :smiley:

I’m sure this will be another great piece! :slight_smile:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Still trying to put the models in composition, and this is the latest result.

#27

Wow Sara, just checked out this thread - you have some beautiful work going on here! Colours and form are just wonderful :slight_smile: my only suggestion is that sometimes your work feels like it could use a slight dash of texture here and there, generally they’re rather smooth - very nice stuff, I’ll be checking back here. Hej hej!

#28

Beautiful start, SaraD! Thrilled to have you back for OFDW 014, and no, you didn’t miss anything, I’m just superstitious. :wink:

Sorry to hear about the internet / Painter problems, but I’m happy you’re not letting it get you down and are back in action! :bounce:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Hi…SaraD :wavey:

WOW!!..Nice imagination at work…:applause:
Composition looks great to me…gets my eye moveing…nice flow to it…but you know what
I see, or rather don’t see…the baby dolphin that is just breaking the surface of the water
next to it’s mothers tail…must be what the girl is looking at…maybe :shrug:
Like the way you overlapped the shapes…gives it a lot of depth.
Beautiful painting Sara…a real pleasure seeing it…:thumbsup: :arteest:
TAKE CARE

Next master copy. William B. this time around as well. The last one got destroyed by master painter-crash, but I don´t give up… And take copies in other fileformats :wink:

#32

Finally had the time to join an OFDW. Here´s my start on Rembrandts “Titus van Rijn in a Monk’s Habit”


#33

Wow! Thats looking great Sara!!:scream: Whats your canvas size?

#34

rblitz7, the monk is on a 3500x3000 px canvas, 200 dpi. I usually work around that size, since my computer tend to slow down when I go bigger. I often scale parts of the painting while I´m working on details and the scale them down again:)

Next mastercopy from OFDW16. Selfportrait by Rembrandt

#35

Wanted a break from the master copying over in the OFDW, and started a piece with one of the models from Hong Ly´s superb collections over at http://characterdesigns.com. I don´t have the whole concept yet, but I´m really enjoying to paint the female body in my own colorscheme again :slight_smile:


#36

An update on my flowergirl. You´ll see the flowers soon;)

#37

Ooh, great to see you doing this, SaraD! Looking forward to your progress. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Slowly making progress

#39

Feet and hand “finished”. In my opinion the hardest part - so I´m so glad I can leave them behind, and start on the face :bounce:
