Painting the HUMAN HEAD

Fall Semester has begun!  Ah my lovely "Painting the Human Head" class.  That's what I love to do on a rainy day.  Paint human heads.  Lots of them.  Oh GOOD THING because looks like Amy, our teacher, wants us to paint 48 heads outside of class by the end of the semester.

Oh... sorry let me make sure you understand.  FOURTY EIGHT HEADS.  In ONE semester!  OUTSIDE of class.  Did I mention we are spending TWO HOURS on each of them?

If I can't paint an amazing portrait by the end of this semester, well... you just don't wanna know what's gonna happen.  ;)

This should be good!  Truly though, this is really good for me!  And... maybe by the end I really will love to paint heads.  ;)

So these are done IN CLASS from a live model:





And these are a few of my outside class 2 hours paintings:
(painted from PHOTO reference... not as good as you can tell... live models are much better)

When you sign up on my apartment door for a time! :D My Saturdays are full... I'm considering doing 2 painting sessions in a Saturday. Let me know if you prefer a Saturday!
