Well this was my last class. I've learned so much and I think my painting techniques are improving. I now know a lot more about the painting process. There is more to a painting then just the photo you are painting from. You have to decide on what will be your focal point, making value studies and then putting it all on canvas. I feel that I can now look at my subject and see past the details and focus on the masses first and details last. This was always a problem for me at first but, now I am evolving into a better painter. Here is the portrait I've been working on it still isn't finished I only put color on the face. The eyes, hair and the background still needs finished. I'll of course keep you posted on the progress of this painting.
