End of the semester

All of my critiques are over and done. Everything went pretty well. It seems that every semester flies by faster than the one before it. Eventually I'll take better photos but until then these will have to do. This is my quick studies final with my final touches.This is my self portrait I did for heads and hands.

Over the break my posting will be irregular but I will be doing studies for still life 2 (I'm taking it again, because I love it so much) next semester.

Finals

Due to extreme busyness I will not be posting until my finals are completed. Well I might but I'm definitely not counting on it. Including the weekend there are only 9 days left! For those of you dealing with finals good luck!

Getting work done

Though I got a slow start today, I managed to make a huge dent in my Quick Studies final. I took a photo every 10-15 minutes to show progress.
I'm pretty happy with how it's going so far. I will continue to add details to finish it. This is oil on an 18x24in canvas based off of this study.

Almost the end

Today the last batch of Quick Studies were due. It's amazing how fast this semester has gone. These are my last two of the six studies: Both are oil on 9x12in canvas panels.
Here are a few from class when we were working on exaggerated color:
Figures aren't necessarily my strong point but I just keep trying. I like working in exaggerated color because it forces me to really observe. This in-class studies are also oil on 9x12 canvas panel and range from 25-40 minutes.

Limited Palette

Today in Heads and Hands I expanded my palette a bit. I used titanium white, yellow ochre, burnt sienna, ultramarine blue, and burnt umber. I fee like it turned out okay but I think that the neck might be too long. I took ten pictures and there is glare in every single one of them...
