Goal - To paint a figure from life within a
limited time frame.
Thoughts – This painting was not done from a photograph. I had a chance to paint my granddaughter
playing the piano in my studio. This
painting was surprisingly easy. I did a
quick sketch and immediately began painting her before she decided to
leave. I checked my angles carefully,
then applied paint, piece by piece, and didn’t fiddle. I think that because I painted this quickly
and deliberately, I didn't have time to “over-think” my strokes. I was totally focused and the
painting almost painted itself. Of the
two paintings I have completed so far, I enjoyed this one the most. I found that my emotional connection to the
subject made the process easier and more successful. This will be an interesting concept to explore in future
paintings. As I am only allowing two hours or less for these paintings, I
think of them as artist studies and not finished studio work. I could then use this study as a reference for a larger, more finished piece.
This painting is not for
sale. Thank you for visiting.
