In our Friday painting group most of us started over on our portraits of Jayne today. This was to be the second of three days we would all work on them. I had a side view last week and was painting on such a small board that I got frustrated -- I don't like making tiny strokes but especially not on a figurative piece. Today Anne Nelson Sweat and I switched places so she had a more 3/4 view and I had this more frontal angle; we were both happier with today's perspectives. At this stage the values and colors are too close so next week I intend to increase the value contrast as well as refine the arms and hands. I left the painting at Anne's house so I wouldn't alter it without looking at the model. She is young and I will need to give her face more softness and less angularity.
