Lady in White Dress

Started on a fresh sheet of canvas paper.


So far I think I'm approaching the brush work as if I'm sketching and shading with a pencil and this causes blemishes from the embossment such as on the top lip and the hair. Details such as the ears need more definition and the right arm is a tad skeletal. I reckon she will be holding perhaps a hat in her left hand but I didn't feel confident enough to design and paint one just yet without it becoming a bit of an undefined mess. Similarly the dress work is very average and one of the many things I will need to practice on.


On the whole though I'm feeling encouraged by this forays result.

Spoiled

Started seriously dabbling with acrylics. I don't know what I'm doing and finding my way around. I was liking this first effort and took a progress pic incase I'd mess it up, and indeed I spoiled it.

So I painted over the whole debacle and tried something else instead but I messed this one up aswell.


Despite all that I'm really enjoying the process and learning things. Curious how many more layers of paint the canvas paper will take before I either finally produce something or the paper flails away.

Spitfire wip

Working on my first ever Spitfire, this is Airfix's 1/48 MkXII. It's a really nice kit. Took some snaps. It's almost done.
