January's "Portrait In Nude Palette" - Chapter Two
Added 2022-01-25 01:42:57 +0000 UTCContinuing the clean, romantic, and simplistic theme of the nude palette portrait session in our final chapter for this month! The snow and the low negative temperatures persist as well, making it an ideal time to keep cozy and productive indoors, in the studio.
Thank you for your support! It keeps me going.
See my previous studio post on "Portrait Studies" for three tips on working with portraits, which includes my saying that Likeness - how recognizable a face or figure is - comes through the individuation of structure. Meaning, to get at what makes someone look like themselves, as opposed to a contrived head, we've got to go beyond knowing how to measure out classical proportions and get into how the features reflect individuality through irregular, asymmetrical, rule-breaking distinctions. Observation is key, from the deeper layers, outwards.
As always:
All content accessible to paying patrons here may be used to further the study and development of personal or professional work, provided you credit the help, in this case me, the model, with my name (Mairin-Taj Caya) and my tag (Instagram: @Caya_Art, Patreon: Mairin-Taj Caya) whenever sharing what you make from my reference material publicly, on social media, website, blogs, etc.
It is fair to me and my labor producing this content that such professional courtesy be in place. Thank you!
I also always welcome your sharing with me on social media, or privately, via email, if you feel so inspired to! I am happy to tag and promote your work online in return.
Artists supporting artists keeps us motivated.
New POST coming on the figure - specifically the self portrait - as a valuable self-reflection and expression tool in art.
New themes coming or February for both Tiers ONE and TWO.
Take care, everyone!
