Day 30: final

20" x 16"
oil on archival paper

In my weekly figure painting group I had two weeks to work on this set up. I did two grey scale studies of this image as part of the 30 paintings series. I can definitely see how this helps me think my way through a painting with more clarity. I feel like the painting can still use some adjustments but overall I am happy with it. I also am also working outside my comfort level in terms of my color palette. I am experimenting with much higher chroma colors, like thalo blue, thalo green and quinacridone red. 

Overall it has been a tremendously rewarding experience and I am very glad I jumped on board. Thanks to Leslie for challenging me to start this year off focused and productive.
