Quick sketch

Didn't do anything the last couple days except for this quick sketch with charcoal pencil and chalk on toned paper.

Nude figure study

Another limited palette portrait

Using a limited palette of titanium white, burnt sienna and french ultramarine blue, attempted to take progress shots during the course of the painting. However, doing so, I think it disrupted my momentum and concentration, thus the end result isn't quite satisfying.

Limited palette of titanium white, yellow ochre, venetian red, and paynes gray

Pencil sketch

It has been so long since I used a pencil of any kind, I feel that I lost the ability to control the pencil strokes. The strokes doesn't seem to want to go the way I want it to. Guess it is telling me that I need to start doing pencil sketches again.

Another attempt using Golden OPENs, using YUPO synthetic paper as the support with 4 thin coats of gesso. What surprised me was that the paper did not warp or curl.
