Carrying on from the first exercise I began by painting a light outline of my model in a light brown colour. It feels like quite a strange process to draw with my paintbrush as I’m use to sketching something out in pencil first and then painting over. It feels like you have to concentrate that little bit more on the outline of things using a paintbrush.
I then began filling in with block colours, keeping the detail simple and trying to maintain the linear aspect to this painting. I’m not entirely sure if it has worked or not? Perhaps my lines could of been bolder? I did find this a fun exercise to do though, and I hope that I’m getting slightly better at drawing/painting figures from side angles. I think I have also managed to get the balance of painting for enjoyment and painting to complete a task right, and that could be down to painting a subject that captures my interests.
