Day five 11"x14" oil on canvas

This was the last painting on the last day of Zhaoming Wu's workshop in Austin TX.  I had to leave an hour early so I could only paint on it for a couple of hours, but I think it was a pretty good start.  I thought he was a great teacher and I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.   Hopefully I can retain the information I received.  Everyone attending the workshop did such a great job.   I thought we all painted well together.

Day four, Zhaoming Wu Workshop 11"x14" oil on canvas

Day four of the Zhaoming Wu workshop and here again you can see the focal point.  We painted the model all day which amounted to a six hour pose and if you take out the 5 minute breaks it is 5.5 hours.  My concentration was getting a likeness, proportion and color value with some artist license here and there.

Day three, Zhaoming Wu Workshop 14" x 18" oil

Sold

Here you can see the focal point, which is the head neck and shoulder with everything else in softer focus and darker value.  This was the painting that I forgot to photograph yesterday,  it was Day two in the Zhaoming Wu workshop in Austin TX.    

This is day three, today, and as you can see it is a head study.   I am learning a lot but it is going to take time to assimilate it into my work.   Tomorrow I will try to do better!
