I'm trying to participate in a webinar study on Wet Canvas with artist Larry Seiler, but his technical difficulties to present them have left me a little at sea. At any rate, he claims that you have to paint 120 paintings before you paint a good one.... So I decided to start from scratch, I built a light box to help with focus and here's my first study (emphasis on STUDY) of 120. I spent about 2 hours, which is longer than he recommended, but I'm sure I'll get faster. And I could have picked at it much longer, to get the base of the mannequin right, but that wouldn't have been the point, so here it is. I'll be doing the studies in oil. This one's 11x14 out of a 7-pack I think Mom gave me a few months ago. Be prepared, this may get ugly.
