Thumbnails...

And other preparations for the Tableau Vivant painting!

 Here we have the thumbnails...

 Practicing textures that appear in my painting (concrete, grass, furry hood of coat, bike, etc).

More random facial expressions, this time using the burnt umber as well. I was going to do more, from the different angles that weren't straight on, but I sort of messed up (by accident, HA!). But I will get around to more one of these days. I'm sure they will be of use to me for more than just this project.

Texture Scavenger Hunt!

WARNING!!!
I am absolutely HORRIBLE at conveying textures through paint. You can forget it...

These are my textures. From left to right, they are as follows:
-Dirt
-Leaf
-Stone
-Another Leaf
-Brick
-Cloth, pants

None of them really... succeeded, but that's why I'm in school, isn't it?

EDIT: Last 4 are as follows:
-Cloth, shirt
-Something fuzzy
-The back of my hand
-The floor


Still didn't particularly succeed at these either. But just you wait. Once I post my expression studies, you'll be in AWE!!!
