Well, it isn't actually a painting, yet, but I have started the studies for it. It's complicated:
Here is Tuesday's work. It's a pencil drawing that was started in class and continued at home. The photo was taken in the evening so all I had was electric light. The paper looks very peculiar, but at least you can see the subject - a group of musicians.
Tonight I added a few details and started work on the female singer/drummer. I don't have the angle of her head right so it will have to go. Tomorrow I will start over - she's also too close to the clarinetist - there's no room for her drum!
The composition needs thinking about - there's a dog to add and the background hinted at. The musicians may need to be spread out a bit even though this is the way they were seated when I took the original photo.
I'll wait and see. As I said in the beginning of this entry - it's complicated.
This is a phenomenal drawing. As far as spreading out the individual musicians, I like that they are playing as a closely linked group. To my eye the composition works. I agree, however, that the lead singer needs room. I look forward to seeing this work unfold. It really holds great promise.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a great painting and I, too, want to see it unfold. You definitely are one very talented woman!
