Last Day of Sculpting

This was a great experience, to strip away the skin and get to know a little bit about the bone and the muscles that make up the body. I learned a lot from my teacher Rick Casali. This has just whet my curiosity and I am looking forward to going home to study this more. I will dust off the old "anatomy for artists" books and make some clay studies at home...and sketches...and paintings. I will have to apply what I have learned to my daily paintings. That is the great thing about being an artist...there is always more to learn.

Anatomy Study Day Two

Half of today was sculpting and the other half was watching a portrait demo and going out to dinner. No time to paint with the schedule as is and tomorrow will be even more busy. Monday I have an eight hour ride back to Massachusetts and may be able to paint in the evening when I get home. I miss the daily painting very much.
