Blondie Nude Oil Painting by Janice Warriner


Blondie
8 by 8 oil on canvas
To start my process, I usually draw with transparent red oxide paint right on the canvas.  It is transparent and erases easily with turp.  It also creates a nice warm undertone to the paintings, whether, figure, landsape or whatever.  Check my daily blog at http://www.oilsbyjanice.blogspot.com/

Lush, Nude oil painting by Janice Warriner


Lush~
8 by 8 oil on canvas mounted on hardboard

  My inspiration was the lighting on her very relaxed pose and the way it enhanced the line on the figure -  down across the breast over her hip and down the thigh.

Doing these 20 min. poses are a great way to capture quick gestures and put colors down quickly.  The lighting in the studio was dull yesterday (when I painted this) and I found the colors to be muted and grayer than usual.  Maybe the thicker paint is a result of my inner frustration or lack of satisfaction to the lighting?

Taking the plunge in color today on the nudes, how appropriate, I just realized I've been listening to Barenaked ladies!  Too funny!!
