This was one of the underpaintings I had in my last batch. I hadn't finished a painting in a couple days; I've been working hard on more underpaintings for several commissions. This face has been calling to me because I really was pleased with the freshness of the underpainting and I thought I might be able to get the pasteling done fairly quickly too... so I jumped right on it after completing the commissions' underpaintings. It wasn't quite as quick as I'd hoped, but I'm happy with the result anyway.
BTW, here's a peek at most of the underpaintings I've got going now.... The dogs and horse and dove are commissions:
I'll probably be pasteling one of these at Monday's Virtual Open Studio, Aug 9. If you'd like to join us you can register on my site here!

And in case you missed this message earlier...
The
Feedburner team announced that their email subscription service will be
discontinued in July 2021. As a result, Blogger’s email subscription
widget, also known as FollowByEmail, will be turned off. Specifically,
the email subscription system will no longer work and subscribers to
Google blogs will no longer receive email updates.
SO! If
you're receiving this post via email, I thank you for your subscription,
but you will no longer be getting these delivered to you from my Google
Blog after this month.
But don't despair! Here are two ways you can still get my (almost) Daily Paintings in your inbox!
#1
- Sign up for my website's New Art Alerts. I basically have been
pasting the same info into my website art posts as I do here, so you
won't be missing a thing. CLICK HERE to get my New Art Alerts from my website at RitaKirkman.com.
#2
- Follow my public Patreon Posts. Sure, Patreon is a subscription-based
creative support platform, but you don't have to pay anything for my
public posts, and just about all of my new work gets posted on my
Patreon page, usually with cool little extras like progress pics or
short speed videos! CLICK HERE to
go to my Patreon Page and right below the membership levels, next to a
button that says "share" is a button that says "follow". It's that easy!
(Browse around my other free posts while you're in there..)
Thanks
so much for liking my work and following my blog. Here's to many more
years of following my Website or my Patreon, and to many more years of
creating!
