Very Old Ladies In Girdles



The story continues: The only thing defined is the locomotive, the rest is the subject, but also the background landscape has perhaps found its final form, and the green is pretty close to what I have in mind, only that I have to understand the sinking ground vrso the wall, and I also believe there are any trees, feel the space between the train and the background, and the background is a backdrop for the stage, but real landscape, beyond the wall of a factory, such as one sees in output or input from all city, I also believe in the American ones.
The puffs are starting to convince me, but crerdo that will work at the end of all the work, I'd like that smoke was the synthesis of various stylistic elements.
For the next session, the work done will be dry, and I'll try the final colors.
course, I am also working on another, I think that at least three projects to begin more than a couple of weeks ...

What Color Light Blue Houses

study the figure

I did a few sessions of a nude, very few, but I like to paint the female figure, without denying the obvious eroticism that this brings. Not being able to afford to pay a model, and discarding the idea of \u200b\u200bworking with amateurs, which is likely to be embarrassing and distracting, work using photographs, anatomical plates and visual memory, sometimes I refer to important teachers, but rarely do I copy the image of the same, the picture is always the result of some idea in my head and face is not uncommon for several studies in pencil, watercolor, gouache, etc.., before carrying out the board to take on canvas, rcalcando or copying. But I'd be able to have an immediate freshness of Toulouse Lautrec, Renoir easy or joyful, or the elegance of Botticelli, the delicacy of Raphael, Rubens' flesh, and who knows what else. With these contacts, who may be filling a job alone, it is difficult to be fully satisfied with the result, and sometimes we try again, always daring to hope in one hundred and ten years, which could take me to create my work.
