Grethe and Alexandra, thanks again. I would like to send you to the following link as to the monochrome study. It is not
this artist that I study under necessarily but use his guidance occasionally as I look often here on the Forum for other methods. But I want to say that I indeed have been taught by others in this technique and it is absolute detail that I have subscribed to doing. Now having said that-- I feel absolutely that my drawing[B]
must[/B] to be very precise or (as you stated Alex, it would be very difficult to paint over). So my problems and they seem to be many, are those of accurate drawing . I really need to draw more often and this I realize.
I will try to do better and Grethe, the measuring is definitely a must. How odd that measuring is something that I stress in my teaching of painting ( still life , I do not teach portraiture)
Go figure.
Ok I am off to the easel once again. Thanks for your patience on this and I apologize for taking up so much time and space on this Oil Critique section.
Check out the link below please. I assume some of you already are familiar with Antonov's work, whether or not you agree is not the question.
Best Regards
Patt
