This is my neighbor Delores, she is an amazing woman.. I carefully lit her with studio lights on the left of the image and cool, morning light on the right.. i think I am calling this pretty done! who knows - maybe I have a shot as a painter ? about 35 hours ( with a lot of looking time in the number..).. there are always things to fix but i'm feeling good. below are the block in and about 15-20 hours in and a value study i did in graphite .. the painting is a much more careful rendering of her likeness in proportion, value, color, shapes.. whatnot....
some 2 min gestures from sat. working on my Carl Gnassian "" way but LONG way to go..
below from Henry's friday night workshop.. not pleased w/my drawing lately.. ugh
somehow that foreshortened foot won the battle and is the size of a small, offshore watercraft ( or my size 14 foots..)

Dolores painting fricken rules!! the colors are craazzy awesome. love the aesthetic details, the soften hairline, the flesh tone...i am sure you make tomutsu proud. master painter in the making.
ya dude. I feel completely wimpy in front of your Dolores painting. You suck for being so good (as long as you have the time!) Hehe.
cool painting, man. Those graphite's are looking better and better as well. See you this Friday?
Beautiful. You painting of Delores is truly inspired.
i really envy your skills at capturing likenesses man. Consider being a portrait painter? You definitely have the skills for that.
1 more week to our dinner reunion! Woohoo!
naa, I recommend bringing only a sketchbook. But, if you really want, use a chair for a horse easel....if you get there early enough.
nah, she's being kind cuz teacher evaluations are coming up. lol haha.
