This has the makings of a really good painting--whether I get to it is another story. I have been in flux lately. I think I need to do a real crappy, carefree painting before I get serious again.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-46772242231187460602015-06-15T23:19:08.241-04:002015-06-15T23:19:08.241-04:00love this drawing...and how you can tell that it i...love this drawing...and how you can tell that it is a guitar.

I think this would make a fabulous work, either as a more "finished" drawing or a painting. <br />KathrynStudio at the Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900305750995808779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-72993914165779344672015-06-15T15:06:00.720-04:002015-06-15T15:06:00.720-04:00As exciting as it is to start a new painting, I th...As exciting as it is to start a new painting, I think familiarizing yourself with the unique qualities of a subject enables you to put together a loose plan for a larger piece,, especially in portraiture. What to put in, what to eliminate, which lines and shadows insure a good likeness is discovered in a get acquainted sketch. A thumbnail is great for planning compositions, but a sketch determines what details must be included and properly placed. These kind of sketches also let you know if you want to put in the effort on a largeriece or forget it altogether. Portraits are time consuming. Why waste your time and materials on a subject that's not going to hold your interest for the time it takes?Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-16702498263438506112015-06-15T12:39:36.066-04:002015-06-15T12:39:36.066-04:00That is such a good idea!
