Painting: 5th Draft

Here's the 5th Draft of my painting.

© 2011 Imogen Begins (this means just look, don't copy or save it)

Still 1,572 drafts left.

It's a process.




I don't mind, because I'm learning; with each stroke I'm learning what works for me and what doesn't. I'm learning how to apply paint, mix color, and how to create depth. I want the technical skills: how to turn a form, render realistic light, make skin soft, make my picture-plane not flat; but a livable space...I also want my painted people to emote.
