Hair

Studying hair.

I am really struggling with it. I'm having trouble with a full head of hair from behind as well as the movement I want to suggest. 

The face on hair was a study from a watercolor I liked that I found while doing research. I thought it might help with the back.

Here is a detail of a study for another part of the painting.

Pomegranate, Fig, and Ice Cream

Woah. As I was writing the title I thought that WOULD be an amazing ice cream flavor!

That aside, I got into the studio today to do some studies. I am kind of frustrated because I like working from "live" objects, not reference photos, but figs and pomegranates aren't in season so I have to make due.

Ice Cream (Watercolor on paper)

I found the ice cream part of the painting while cleaning and today I added a cone. I loved the simplicity of the scoop. Not sure how I feel about the cone.

Fig (Watercolor on paper)

This was an underpainting I was going to work into but I kind of like it as is. I might not work into it.

Another study for my commission.

Cleaning

Here is a bad iPhone photo of a test print of the cleaning products. Not sure how I feel about it. I have some others that I want to play around with. I am not sure I need the outlines anymore, even though oddly, this is how it started...

In the Studio: Cleaning

Here's a little peak of what I have been working on in the studio. I have been obsessed with decluttering lately, but there is also so much more behind these cleaners I am working on.
