Figure Painting... again.

Here are a couple more figure paintings from my current painting class.  Mostly color experiments.  The professor suggests to start with bold vivid colors, and work our way to local color.  I feel grossly incompetent with a paintbrush and almost decided not to share these.  But I understand its a learning experience... so here they are.  

Hopefully I can look back on these in the future and notice improvements... thats the goal right?

Figure Painting.

These are my first experiments with figure painting, quite different from figure drawing I might add...

They come from 3 different class periods, with 3 different approaches being taught, pretty much experimenting with figure painting, getting information down on the canvas as soon as possible, and correcting later. I've organized them, starting with my first paintings, moving down towards the newer ones.   They range in time spent from 2 minutes, to 1 hour, let me know what think. Thanks!

Day 3

I have 2 more days similar to share, they are still at school though so I can't phtograph them and share.  Look for them in another post. Thanks!
