Painting Class 1.20.10


Did a study of the planes of the face today. Getting ready for the model we are painting next week. The reason this looks kind of weird is because the right side of the face is an older person and the left is a younger. Had a good class today and I think all of the sketching has been helping. Each painting is a little better than the last. If anyone want's to buy one of these models, you can get them at www.planesofthehead.com.

Things to remember:
1) Even though the skull is round, it's good to imagine the top as kind of flat. It's not a perfect ball.
2) Adding a little background color to the receding forehead mimics atmosphere and shows depth as the head goes back in space.
