There was something about this woman's face that appealed to me. She had very expressive hands as well so I managed to get a few good photos to work with. Originally, I was going to combine the interlaced fingers with the more full face view but as I was drawing, I started to like the more profile version better. These are the first drawings. I did three more, starting to stylize and simplify the image more but I am saving them for tomorrow's post.
I am also working on another project. I am scheduled to do a demonstration on the patio of Mistral Restaurant in Redwood Shores on Wednesday, May 6th at 5:30. I have 3 paintings hanging in the restaurant along with some other artists. This is a new kind of promotion for me, so it will be interesting to see what comes from it. I have found that something good always happens when you are willing to try something. Often it is not the result you had anticipated but something totally unexpected.
I like both of these and will definitely look forward to seeing more and what you do with them. (Just catching up after being away a week and it's taking a few days! Whew!)
ReplyDeleteHi Myrna! Interesting, expressive drawings. I like how you divide the paper. I look forward to seeing these done in paint! Good luck with the demo.
ReplyDeleteI love the second drawing! As you said, the hands are so expressive! Can't wait to see your more stylized versions, too.
