Painting in Progress 2Originally uploaded by marchenstudiosThis is what my painting looks like after sitting down for a second session of painting. This session was really kind of short, no more then thirty minutes. I found that I needed to get up and leave it be for the night. I have a really hard time with figure painting, I haven’t studied it much beyond a 7th grade art class and so it is easy for me to get frustrated when it doesn’t look right. I get so tied up in small details that I lose sight of the whole picture and so last night I just decided to be done for a little while. I got most of the main shadowing done and was really pleased. The last thing I did was give her a light coat of metallic silver. I really want her to have layers and texture and an ethereal feeling.So how did you do facing your fears?-Jessica
