Art Dump-What I'm working on and a reminder

Added 2023-08-21 00:40:09 +0000 UTC

I Hope everyone had a great weekend. Apparently there's a hurricane where I am. So far nothing but rain. But still.

Here's some progress shots and some pieces I've made recently that I haven't shared.

Reminder: the prompt is due next Friday! Submit here

Here's my prompt submission! Its funny looking at the little study and the bigger painting side by side. The study looks like a younger version of the bigger one.

Here's a painting I worked on a lot the last week or so

I call her "Seduction and Chaos" I've been working on her for an intro to drawing bad art lesson I'm doing. Its a Surrealist-centric lesson, and I'll be trying to get it out this coming week. But I don't think I shared any pictures of her along the process.

Alla Prima Studies

I mentioned before that I've been getting frustrated with how long my process takes me to finish a painting. These little alla prima studies have really been helpful in dealing with that. When I get the hankering to get a painting in, I just bust one out.

Cha Cha Cha

This one came from a composition idea I had. I could imagine her moving her shoulder and saying "cha cha cha." I think I'm going to use this one in the next Art Life and Lives video, which I'm also trying to get out next week.

Edvard Munch Study

I did a study of Edvard Munch's the Scream. I did one a few years ago. For this one my goal was to keep the colors of the original, but I used a picture of a real life mummy that was preserved in the fetal position as the reference for the main figure. It's a picture that may have influenced munch when he painted the original scream. I was compelled to do this experimental study after watching the film Oppenheimer.
