To get myself back on track, I started this painting a little earlier. The base coats and sketch went on the canvas last week and I did the bulk of the painting this week. In the end I spent about five hours on the painting overall.
I’m done with this sort of monochromatic style for now. My “painting a month” work will still be just as loose, but I want to work with color a bit more.

I had two hours open so I dedicated that time to finishing what should have been my painting for March. Even though this took me more than a few days over the course of several weeks, it still took around four hours to complete. A better photo will be coming once I meet up with my photographer friend.

I missed my own self-imposed deadline of getting one painting a month done for the year of 2011. March was way too busy and April is turning out to be the same. I guess that’s what happens with a job, school, girlfriend, family and just about everything else.
In my own defense, I did start a painting before the month ended. So if I can get two paintings done before the end of this month, I’ll still be on track.
Heh.
