WOW!!! I can't believe that a WHOLE DECADE has passed since I started this blog. Thank you everyone who has visited my little corner of the interwebs, left nice comments, and bought the original paintings! Here is the post that started it all 10 years ago.

I know I've been neglecting this blog for a while now. Life has a way of getting in the way. I've still continued the practice of weekly figure drawing. That is until this past August of 2016. I moved to Amman, Jordan with my wife so she can gather research for her Ph.D. However, in this conservative culture, figure drawing the nude model is not something easily accessible. I've searched around for some sessions but no luck. I miss it dearly and I can't wait to start back up when we return to the States in September. Maybe I'll even find time to scan a few in and resume posting.</div>

This painting started as one big disaster and continued to be so through out most of the pose. I can't tell you how many times I thought about throwing in the towel and going home. This was the last pose of the session. But just as doubt started to fill me I thought of the advice I got from <a href="http://www.imaginistix.com/">Julie Bell</a>, and reaffirmed again this weekend while talking to <a href="http://www.manchess.com/">Greg Manchess</a>; to press on past the ugly stage and trust in your abilities. There is a point in the painting process then a painting looks like utter crap and all you want to do is slash the canvas, snap your brushes in two, and take up a safe profession like accounting. But all the pros know that this is just a stage a painting has to go through (well, Greg skips that stage and goes strait to the finish) to lay the groundwork for the final polish. This painting is far from polished, but I pressed on, and used the green pen (the only color I had handy) to add some form to the senseless washes. As things started coming together, I went back in with the washes to add the details in the face and the shadow areas. And now I'm pretty happy with the results.Arkady Roytmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02077339298015538327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928447942689146351.post-66166547129630695672015-05-30T10:00:00.000-04:002015-06-04T22:16:11.113-04:0005.30.2015 - Blast From The Past: 02.01.2010<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.arkadyroytman.com/NotD/20100201.jpg" alt="Dirty Martini, Seated In Semi-Profile, With Pink Hair And Blue Pasties" border="0" /><br />
