I've shared some techniques in this one as I remembered to take photos!

Starting the month and the morning with a Life Drawing Session. I kept the colours bright, mixing everything from the three primaries and adding charcoal to give a bold outline.

First I loosely blocked in the shapes in orange/red and then defined the outlines with compressed charcoal. Lastly I mixed more subtle colours and worked on flesh tones, allowing some of the orange to show through.

I'd love to see your paintings if you're doing daily paintings thru December for #artvent.
Comment below if you are.

interesting style. i love the way you use different shades

Cheers, you don't get long with life drawing poses so you have to work FAST and doing essentially three different drawings makes it even tighter.

Impressive. I respect that

loving your style! followed. :)

Thanks @olaivart
