The semester is almost over! Aahh! I'm pretty sad because I've really loved this class and feel like I've learned so much. I've just got to make sure I keep doing this sort of thing on my own even if it's not assigned homework!
I kept playing a little with brighter, bolder colors in this first painting. It was interesting having the fabric there to play around with (since we've never really done any drapery stuff in this class). I also did a lot of the fabric with a palette knife at the end to add texture. I also took some progress pictures so you can kinda see my process! :)

| Background color, "sketch", and starting to lay flat color shapes in the face |
 |
| Adding dimension to the face with shadows, highlights, and color variation |
 |
| Adding color to the scarf and the yellow rim lighting on the face |
 |
| Refined details in the face (such as the eyes) and added more textured color in the scarf and background with a palette knife |
This second painting was weird. There was this super unnatural green light on one side and a bright red light on the other. It was a struggle to paint the model without her looking like a) Christmas or b) an alien/zombie. The fact that she kept her eyes closed a lot of the time also led to a slightly creepy feel for this painting. Oh well!
