Here's the final project from fall's Foundation Painting class. We worked on this painting for four sessions of 3 hours each. I think the most successful part is the frontmost foot and shin crossing over the rear foot; it looks very 3-D and realistic. I'm pretty happy with the red glow on the left torso from light bouncing off the cloth onto the model, and with the colors in the breasts and torso, and with the way the curtain in the backdrop disappears into the dark upper left corner. Things I don't like: the right arm is too orange, the drapery is awkward, the face is VERY awkward, and I never managed to finish the floor.
