Venetian Masters - Nude

Final work on the painting from the model.

These are the current layers of my painting.

Titian Copy

This is the last work I've done of the Titian.

Worked on the background a lot yesterday.

Here's my first layer of color on my Titian.

I forgot to take a picture of the burnt umber and white layer. Here is the add black and second layer of whites layer.

Here are some steps on the Titian copy I'm working on.

Pencil on Grid
Burnt Umber Washes

self portrait - grissaille

Added color (their is a shadow in this picture, I need to retake it later). It looks a little more like me I think.

I smoothed out the head a little

Worked on it somemore Wednesday late afternoon. Lifted the nose because I thought filtrum was too small.

Working on the next layer of my self portrait on Tuesday night.

Painting in the Style of the Venetian Masters

I am on class three in an extension class at UCLA called "Painting in the Style of the Venetian Masters" taught by Tom Garner.

Here are some exercises we did last week.

This is a self portrait we started in class today, I will try to get a better photo tomorrow so you can see how it has progressed. There is a yellow ochre scubbled underpainting and then burnt umber layer and then white highlights. I wonder how it is going to turn out.
