This is a typical laundry day in Riyadh ( Saudi Arabia ) the heat , the roof top , and the palm trees. ..... the painting is still very wet , so I couldn't take a photo with less glare than this one.
Time to get back into figure drawing , and revisit those old anatomy books. It's been some time since I've done any figure drawing. I felt a little rusty , non the less, I was stocked !! it was so much fun. This is a qucike study, didn't have that much time to really get into the shading details, and workout the values. More figure drawings coming up really soon=-)
This is a temporary photo hat I took with my phone. The original painting has a lot more texture, which is lost from the low resolution photo. I'm really excited about the portrait, I've been working on this one some time now, and it's almost done. I just started painting the torso today , so it's still a little rough . The face also needs a little more work , but it's getting there. I'll post the finished one when it's done.
