gretchen evans parker: Day Three Step 1

http://gretchenevansparker.blogspot.com/2009/08/day-three-step-1.html

Monday, August 10, 2009. Day Three Step 1. There are eight steps in this session. You will have to click "older posts" to see them all. I started the work on Rachel today by getting the mouth closer to the values I saw in my reference photo. I added some 70% French Gray to her teeth and blended that with 10% French Gray and Cream. 90% French Gray went on her back teeth to help deepen and turn her mouth.

gretchen evans parker: Finished at least for now.

http://gretchenevansparker.blogspot.com/2009/08/finished-at-least-for-now.html

Saturday, August 15, 2009. Finished at least for now. I have deepened all the shadow areas with Henna, Terra Cotta and Dark brown. They were then blended with either Clay rose or rosy beige depending on the value level of the area. . I widened the background on the right and added more hair to improve the crop. The last step is to go over her entire face and neck with cream, light peach or beige depending on the value of the area to blend and smooth the skin. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

gretchen evans parker: November 2008

http://gretchenevansparker.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 4, 2008. No time for CPs in October. I apologize to my September portrait students for not getting this done sooner. October was a busy month and I didn't get time to pick up a single CP! We had two trips and put over 3000 miles on the car. I also had a big woodworking project to get done.

gretchen evans parker: July 2008

http://gretchenevansparker.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Now that the trees in the background are done I am getting to the fun part. The fine detail. I have not had time to work on this as much as I would like but this stage will go slower now too. As you can see in the close up the detail is starting to appear. I love this stage. The painting is starting to look like the place I am trying to represent. Saturday, July 26, 2008. Friday progress on Wingard's Nursery. Ahhhhh the background trees are about done! Thursday, July 24, 2008.

gretchen evans parker: Almost done

http://gretchenevansparker.blogspot.com/2009/08/almost-done.html

Saturday, August 15, 2009. I was able to bring Rachel's hairline down. I lifted a bit of color from the top of her head and blended in some 10% French Gray. I also narrowed her face and neck by widening the shadow of her hair on the left. She also got more hair on the right side of her forehead. This looks more like Rachel now! As you can see I have deepened all the tones on her face. I did it by walking up the skin value scale to level 5 using mostly the pinks along with burnt umber and terra cotta.

gretchen evans parker: August 2008

http://gretchenevansparker.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 29, 2008. The folks at Wingard's Nursery have asked to use my landscape in their advertising to be placed in two local magazines. Between the publications one or both end up in virtually every house in the Lexington/Richland County area! Of course I said YES! Thursday, August 28, 2008. I am getting to the fun part, the petals with the detail and I am frustrated! I can't get those delicate little veins near the petal tips looking as lacy as I would like! Monday, August 25, 2008. The top pho...

http://gretchenevansparker.blogspot.com/2011/07/i-am-back.html

Wednesday, July 27, 2011. It's been a long time and much has happened to keep me away from painting and teaching for the last year. Some has been happy time traveling to see family and a new granddaughter some of it not when both my parents died this past winter. I have been busy showing my work locally with Art in Public Places Lexington http:/ www.southcarolinaartists.com/. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Our Daughter's web site.

gretchen evans parker: Day Three Step 3

http://gretchenevansparker.blogspot.com/2009/08/day-three-step-3.html

Monday, August 10, 2009. Day Three Step 3. I have added pink to her nostrils and darkened the on on the left with black. It is darker on that side because of the way the light hits her face. I think her eyes are too blue so I have brightened them turned them more Hazel with Goldenrod over the blue. Because CP is transparent it is easy to change the color a bit by mixing yellow into the blue to make her eyes a bit greener. I also deepened the blue around the edge of her iris with Indigo Blue.
