figure drawing

10 minutes.  Was trying out a new naples yellow watercolor.

Sargent day 27

Pretty happy with this one if I ignore the shapeless cherubim that form the base of the fountain, haha! All told probably not more than an hour not including waiting for things to dry.  Also did some reductive stuff in places that went too dark, though it's a little small to really have much control.

Sargent day 26

I'm fairly pleased with this one, possibly because it was more explicitly an exercise in drawing as opposed to painting.

Sargent day 25

I guess I'm going to go until 30 at least, but then I'll take a break from these copies.  I feel I'm getting a little bogged down and not gleaning as much from these recently.  Not because there's nothing to glean, but because I'm losing focus a little.

Sargent day 24

Complex - kind of lost focus on this one.  Blah!

Sargent day 23

High key has always been a weakness of mine, so this one was intimidating - a particular challenge.  Yikes!  Although I think the curtains turned out better than I had hoped, the value/color of the boats and such outside went too dark/saturated.
