I started Vogue Model number 8 tonight, again no detail at the early stage just blocking in color with big hogs hair brushes.
I’d like to mention some good advice a friend of mine gave me when I was having difficulty in class capturing the likeness of an assignment.
She said to "try painting the negative space" (Thanks Pat ! )
This little bit of advice has turned out to be a big help.
The negative space is that empty space between the arms , legs ,contours in fabric, the space between the figure and the end of the canvas ect.
When you stop to look there’s negative space all over and it’s a great guild to use in keeping your drawing on track.
Now that I’m mindful about sizing up the negative space, I wonder how I ever got through a painting or drawing without using it.
