Last of the Kool-Aid at the Philadelphia Museum of Art




My last session at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was spent working mainly on the face.  Correcting structure, building form with smaller and smaller shapes while trying to gain the effect of light.

Overall, I am pleased with my progress so far.  I chose The Lute Player for his expressive face and costume.  The feathers were an accent I thought would be fun to paint.  Everything I've been taught at Studio Incamminati was used to build the painting and it was an excellent learning adventure.

Due to family matters, I wasn't able to attend two of the session so I didn't get as far as I would have liked.  There is a possibility of being able to go back at the end of the semester and if that happens I will keep you updated.
