Life Drawing

Matt and I were gone for the life drawing session so we went to OCAC this last saturday. I have never had the opportunity to draw a nude person before and I really liked it, and the class was really small and full of old people who were extremely freindly.

more ideas

So everyone has probably noticed but lately i have been really into carving stamps, for some reason i get a lot of satisfaction out of it and i think they look really cool. Most of my paintings so far have been pretty big and i know we have to send in some that are in a certain size category so i think for the next couple i am going to work small. I'm thinking that i'll finish and paint my jesus with a twist, and i think im going to do a small very detailed ganesha stamp.

Updated background

So i added some charcoal and some marker on top of the wood to add some more contrast. I have been having a lot of fun with this piece, i have a table in my downstairs where i have layed this over it for the last couple weeks like a table top, and i keep paint, charcoal and pastel around it and so when i pass by it i just add a little something. It feels like a can't mess it up which is nice and not stressful at all. I'm thinking of adding this symbol on top of it, or maybe even a couple of the symbols scattered around that are from an african religion.

Ideas

The last month or so i haven't been very inspired and thrilled to work on my concentration but in the last couple of days i thought of some new ideas that i am getting excited about.
1. i have carved a stamp of Mary and am planning on using it
2. i have been working on a background (its on my blogspot-on wood-pink,purple and green) which is really big and i think i am going to layer onto it an african religious symbol that i really like
3. i am going to do a jesus being crucified with a twist

Another background

I'm still deciding what to add on top of this, but before i do that i know i am going to layer more paint on top and rub some charcoal into it. I'm also still unsure if this will be part of my concentration or not.
