Pushing space deeper into the picture plane.

 Music for this session: Peter Gabriel


This weekend I organized a 5 hour photo shoot. My friend Shaun Roberts http://shaunroberts.net/ and several others helped and I got some pretty amazing reference. The photos look like crazy steampunk Carravagio paintings.
Here is Toni shooting Alex.http://alexrosmarin.org/
Using glazes to unify the underlying colors. Using glazes to push back the space. Using glazes to make gradations of light. I have gotten this painting about 60% done and it took three weeks. At that pace I will not get enough done to make all my deadlines! #@$%!



I also used the extra paint to cover up some old figure studies. I like the half-glazed and dripping effect.
