Mentoring Program....daily drawing 10

This is a drawing of a figurine that my husband gave me for Christmas one year. I had admired it at one of the Antique stores and would press my face against the glass cabinet and love ever centimeter. I looked at this for at least a year or more. It is made by Royal Copenhagen. I love the figure. So when I was determining what to paint today I wanted it to be something that moved me inward. Setting up a still life is very difficult for me. Perhaps it is the time that it takes to figure out colors, shapes, forms, and value structure. Add to that it tells some kind of story. All of that in a nutshell takes me hours to decided just what I want to say. This drawing is part of a still life that I set up and will begin in paint. I miss being able to work from the figure. I plan on painting this girl image often.

Yellowstone Naional Park

I am enjoying landscape painting so much. It is partly because the Finetec waterolors that I use. They are so incredibly beautiful....ssooooo beautiful.....each stroke is a stroke of LOVE....... www.lindahuntfineart.com

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
