Week 4 pic
Feb. 5th, 2007 11:18 amSo, this was actually done a couple of weeks ago, but I decided I didn't want to post it then, as it was ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
zalena 's birthday present. It's very small, and almost doesn't count, but there was a sketch beforehand, and I did put effort into making it all purdy, so I'm saying it counts.
I do have week 5's piece done (not completely satisfied with it, but that seems to be the norm), but I have yet to take a picture. I might delay posting it for a week, though, because it would be quite nice for Valentine's day. :-)
So far, what I've noticed is that I really, really, really need to work on composition. I suck at it. Majorly. That's what I'm not satisfied about with week 5's piece. Of course, that's what the sketching is supposed to be for... *cue bitter laughter*
Now to figure out what to do for this week... Maybe I should break out my oils again, especially now that there's a lock on the fridge to keep little fingers out of it. (THANK GOD I didn't have any cadmiums on the pallettes he got into! And thank goodness I don't use lead white, as well. Still not good, though.) :-(
In other art news, I decided to donate a custom portrait (from a sitting or photograph) for my church's auction. I hope, really, really hope, that I won't regret that, but I never did say what medium it would be. I can always fall back on charcoals... nice maleable, easy charcoals.
