I realize I haven't posted for awhile, but I have been so busy trying to get some paintings finished, and I am glad to say that it is coming along nicely! If you have read this blog before you know that I love to start paintings, but that in between part, sometimes get tedious. Dealing with background etc. My favorite thing to paint is the figure, (unless it is a still life painting, lol) so these past few weeks have been a joy, taking my first layer of quickly laid paint, and softening and smoothing it to look like creamy white skin.

My current muse/model, has the most beautiful fair skin, and combine that with the fact that I have learned how to take better photographs, so her skin doesn't look so orange, I think the combination has greatly improved my paintings!

I am still getting used to my new camera, and am learning more everyday. I cannot seem to get the same look of the actual painting in the photograph. I have tried changing most all of the settings, so I even tried using my old camera. I am going to post a few of the different photos of one painting, using different settings and even different cameras.

The painting; my "muse" with another Thiebaud painting, (no title yet) is still in progress (left hand still has first layer of paint, and you can see how much more yellow it is), and I can't wait to punch up the background with another layer of thick paint!
