Unfortunately, I'm having one of those weeks where the things I draw REALLY aren't matching the visions in my head. I know I'll get these "imagined" paintings right at some point, but it won't be this week!In the meantime, I fiddled about with a group of girls chatting away at a club (that you can't see yet!). Maybe I'll come back and finish it. For now (and maybe forever), it's a WIP.
I like the color scheme though. I spent some time looking at the gorgeous palettes over at www.colorlovers.com and spied this one that reminded me of candy floss. I added in some browns for a bit more variation. If I don't finish this painting, then I might take those same colors for another painting.
I made some decent drawings at the life drawing session today. This is
one of them though I really have to remember to take my photos during
the day, not at night when I want to post... even with the ugly yellow
flash color distorting the image. Ah well. She still looks the same I
figure. 
While playing Call of Cthulhu tonight, I managed to ink up an old man and then added some color with markers and a dash of acrylic paint. I'll probably stick him in someone's Deco or maybe in one of my own. Maybe splash some found poetry or a quote over top of him. All of the images are clickable. I stuck up small versions here to squish it all into one post. Happy PPF. :)

Three very different styles but all wonderful. Great Work!
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF. Your art is a treasure. I love visiting your blog.Greetings from Brazil!
ReplyDeleteWonderful drawings! I love the old man. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat characters ! I love the palette for the Club Girls and the idea of adding a poem to the crinkly old man. Happy PPF !
ReplyDeleteOf all forms of art figure drawing is my favourite. Despite your photography problems your drawing is lovely, and such a nice pose to draw. Love the girls and worry about your elderly friend - he looks drawn (in psychological terms) and worried. It will be interesting to see what your poem is like when it comes to your mind.
ReplyDeleteWonderful drawings! I do like the color palette you have in the girls painting. I can identify with the not getting the image from your head onto the paper/canvas. My last month has been a lot like that. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThe old man portrait is fabulous! Such an interesting variety of styles in your work.
ReplyDeletelove the contrast with the happy chatty girls and the deep in though old man..great
ReplyDeletelovely work, and you have captured the body language of the girls so perfectly.
ReplyDeleteOh very atmospheric man, great work here!
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF to you as well. I wish my art looked like this when things didn't go so right for me. These are awesome and I particularly like the face. Wonderful.

Your girls are awesome and the old man just divine. You are quite the artist. Well done! Happy PPF to you too.
ReplyDeleteLove the color palette - and faces - in the 3 girls painting, pinks are so wonderful! Excellent figure drawing, quite inspiring! And old man's expression and eyes are very touching!
ReplyDeletefabulous variety of sketch work here!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful work, love the life drawing and the old man.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried to draw an old person, well done!
ReplyDeletei like your color scheme too.
You do such fabulous work with older faces! Love the life drawing, too. Sorry you've been having one of those weeks. Those weeks invariably end with wine for me. LOL.
ReplyDeleteMore great pieces!!! Love the old man ♥
ReplyDeleteSome weeks our visions just don't match our work - been there. I absolutely love the old man-you did a fabulous job there. I agree about the girls - the color scheme reminds me of colored illustrations I would find in books when I was a kid. The life figure is wonderful even in the night photo.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to those days when things in my head dont match that which my hand creates :) I actually like the photo taken at night, especially when it is enlarged. It looks like a fun and productive week. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteA fun color palette! And love all your lfe drawings, dim light and all....
ReplyDeleteLOVE your old man, and the drawing from the live drawing session looks awesome too. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteAll are beautiful! Especially I like your old man!
ReplyDeleteWonderful paintings - I think it is so much harder to paint from your imagination! I am SO much more comfortable with the scene in front of me! LOVE your life drawing - her pose is so expressive and would also make a fabulous painting!
