Painting of Michelle Continued ( In Progress)

by admin on Sep.07, 2009, under Portrait/Figurative

Michelle has not come back since the last post, but I used the opportunity to start working on other areas of the painting, such as the easel and the background.

I first started to fill in some colors for the background, then focused on rendering the easel afterwards. The bar of the easel was full of paint daubs and stains, so I had to eventually use the tiny brush to get the details in. It was a bit tedious and boring as it was progressing rather slowly. US Open tennis was on TV so I watched it while painting the details.

Despite the careless handling, I am happy with how it’s looking. I like the many variety of intense colors being introduced all within an area.

Hopefully Michelle will come back for this painting soon so I can start bringing her to color as well.
