Painting a model in oils
Progress shots
First, the underpainting, which I got a little heavy with the oils when you’re not suppose to.
oops!
The ear wasn’t working for me, so she got more hair instead.
I think I’m finished, but I’m going to wait a couple days, stare at her for a while, and see if I want to add any more detail.
Rose No 2
Oil portrait painting
A customer of mine, a couple months ago, suggested that I paint a portrait, and title it Rose. I was chatting with her about the painting she had bought, which was about a memory I have of my mother. Out of the blue, she mentioned she loved the name Katherine Rose. I told her Rose was my mother’s middle name, and of course, she already knew my name is Katherine. That’s when she suggested I paint “Rose”. So, now I have painted her, twice. I am keeping the first one for myself, but there are prints available. if you’d like one. This is my Rose No 2, which is an oil portrait painting.
Rose doesn’t look anything like my mother did, but I didn’t want her to.

Watching: The Artist and the Model
I liked it. It got an average rating of 3.5 stars on Netflix, but I gave it 5.
It’s a French, black and white film from 2013, subtitled in English, about an 80 year old sculptor, and a young girl who models for him.

Watching: Mortified Nation
Anyone who’s ever kept a journal should watch this documentary. It’s pretty funny.
It’s not rated, but does contain explicit language, so no little ears.
