First Full Value Figure Study by Sandra Galda
March 2011 (somewhat finished)
Here is some of the exercises I am currently busy with at
Ingbretson Studios. Paul's brushwork is evident in the colorful study at top, he took my brush and generously worked some on this one for my instruction. I will save it as a good example for my records of a "start." The aim is to "hit the color notes" in the still life as accurately as possible and only roughly indicate the shapes of the items. I have painted since childhood, but today is my very first day to pick up paint and paint in this studio! I have been training in the Boston Style of fine art for the past 3 semesters. Even though I have not been busy with my own painting very much since March due to a fractured wrist (rollerskating with our daughter and her classmates), I can do some artwork--but it does make my wrist hurt after a while. If interested in purchasing this, or any of my available art on this blog, contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use the PayPal button if included in the post. Small works are signed in full on the back of the painting. Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment! Paintings by Sandra Galda are copyrighted. Scroll down this page for more art!
