Somewhat belatedly (considering I've been selling stuff for a couple of years) I have decided to take an art course. This is a short course as I cannot afford to study full time. However, the college is well respected and offers degrees in Visual Art and it is the same tutors who take the short courses. It's the Adelaide Central School of Art , Norwood. I'm taking a basic portrait course and this is the progress after the first session.
The canvas has been primed with grey, a few thumbnail sketches done from the model, the best chosen and sketched onto the canvas and a basic underpainting done to show a few areas and levels of shade.
What I have learnt already is that I try to put too much detail in at once i.e. putting in eyes and lips in detail right from the get go whereas only a few shadows are needed.
