Challenge: Draw the object at an open studio, Museum of Fine Arts, Ancient Near Eastern Gallery.
I saw these weights in the shape of a duck......and they meshed perfectly with my intent to leave a lot of white space and non-traditional siting on the page.
Actually turned out the way I planned. I like it, anyway.
18"X24", lousy paper, Pitt soft black oil pencil, about an hour.
I'm doing a series of smaller oil paintings, two subjects a piece...one challenge is to substitute one object for another until you have four paintings, all related. The Forelle Pears is my first..for the next I took away one pear and added a fresh mission fig. Which I'll post soon.
I've been painting bread lately, so I thought I'd try to draw another difficult subject. This was done for a scavenger hunt where I had to draw something with seeds.
I've been working on three paintings...not ready to show yet. Here are a couple of drawings done at the MFA (Museum of Fine Arts in Boston) last Wednesday. The model- Ishmael- was really exciting to draw.
