A quick oil sketch
I have been participating in a group who is trying to paint from life, every day. The every day part is tough and I haven't been good about doing it that often. It is still a bit cold in the mountains of Colorado to get outside to paint. I have three cats, so decided they will be good subjects during nap time. Today I must have been too noisy as they kept moving. I wiped off two starts when my subject left, and started two more which never did get finished. This one isn't finished either, but I liked my start so won't wipe it off. I just wish I had wiped out the sketch lines of the parallel angles in the bottom center. I didn't notice them until I photographed it. It is amazing how many things show up in a photo that you don't notice while you are working on it.

I like it, you captured what you wanted to say with just the eyes and paws. It would work even if you didn't take it any further. So peaceful.
ReplyDeletethanks Pat. I am going to try again today and hope they don't keep moving. The first time I did it they stayed put for quite a while.
