Another portrait study from my AAU time. This one is one of my favorites. Zhaoming mentioned in his class. Portrait painting is different from head studies. If you concentrate on how to get the anatomy, perspective, lighting, and modeling correct to make the face look human, you are only doing a head study. Painting a portrait has to go beyond the head study level, the artist should concentrate on the personality, mental and emotional characteristics. I feel this painting has started to show some portrait qualities. I am happy about that.
For a while, I have been working on improving my art, so I did not take care the business part of my art. I feel a little hungary now. Tomorrow I will go to Sedona AZ to teach a workshop. I am very excited about this one.
BTW, I made a mistake on my calendar button on my painting emails. Know I have fix the error. It should be working now.
Yes, her eyes tell a story~
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying your blog some much. I really like your painting style. You've mentioned AAU - that's the Art Academy University in SF? Did you get your degree there? or did you took a few classes? and which ones?
