A beginning. Today a #volunteer day at the thrift shop which usually exhausts me. But I had an idea so sketched it out and began. #blockingin Being tired though is a recipe for disaster so I quit while ahead 😂 Day 10 #stradaeasel #challenge #applesandpears #apple #pear #stilllife #stilllifepainting #fromlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CTqXR_3JsnY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Educate the heart. Let us have good men. — Hiram Powers . I think of realism art as the 2nd floor of a building and we're on the 1st floor; To arrive at realism we need to take steps to get there. Too many get frustrated because they try (and fail) with 1 great leap to land on realism. I recently demonstrated a technique for a good start to a drawing called a block-in. It involves restraint but it really pays off as you continue with your drawing! ✏ My subject here is a marble bust entitled "America" carved circa 1854 by Hiram Powers on display in the @metamericanwing at the @metmuseum . . 🎵: America by Ray Charles #kellyfoss #blockingin (at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQHw-Uh0vW/?igshid=g58affdm94i

Blocking in. My biggest painting so far. Not used to getting proportions right in this format. This is taking time. #oilpainting #blockingin #beginning #art

Blocking in this portrait. It's the smallest portrait I've ever attempted to paint, and I'm up to the challenge. Let's see what happens, eh? #hairybeHrartanddesign #hairybeHr #painting #portrait #acrylicpainting #blockingin
