New Painting WIP - 8 hours of work

The last two meetings at my new art course we had a new assignment - 

1 - Paint with oils on the other side of the canvas - without gesso. Size of 100x150 cm. 

2 - Use a photo by the great photographer - Brassai , I used this photo . We had 3 different to pick from.

3 - Use the colorization and/or the brush strokes inspire by Whistler - like this specific painting . 

First meeting - 4 hours

Second meeting - another 4 hours

A detail :)

I also started to use lots of different kinds of brushes with great variation of sizes and shapes. And I just love the effect of painting without gesso, it is amazing actually.

Have a great rest of the week!
