Work in Progress: Peaches, Update 4
My stage 1 first drawing resulted in a rough block in of Peaches. From there I went back over and refined the block in by doing a second drawing over the first. I switched from light flesh used in the first drawing to van dyke brown for the second. Still checking angles and measuring distances with a divider, I did more refinements to get more detail. The body is still a bit rough, and I’m not concerned with it. The proportions are right. Details of the head are important, so I spent more time on it. I’m getting closer.
From here I’ll begin to start to work on darks, midtones and the lights, continually checking the angles and distances and further refining the details.
On a separate note, my wife, Rita, and I had a great time at the monthly First Friday Art Walk in Ocala last evening. Lots of people showed up for a wonderful night of holiday music by the Ocala Symphony Orchestra at Citizens Circle in Ocala. The weather was cool and added to the festive feeling. Thanks to all who attended and to all who stopped by and chatted about art.
