I’ve never used gouache before so the concept of mixing colors while still focusing on values, layering while considering transparency, and working light to dark is new to me. I think it’s obvious I didn’t use any references or anything so maybe I should try to study from an actual image/model.
I also need to work larger, my brush is pretty big and these are pretty small paintings lol.

I started doing a small version just to plan things out and it kind of grew on me so I continued working on it. I definitely need to start bigger with the brush I have, it’s difficult to get a thin line for the eye lids and lashes, etc. I need to take better care when painting the silhouette, the outer contour is a bit sloppy.
My phone detected the face when I took a picture of this which is one of the biggest compliments I’ve ever received.

I can see the structure isn’t the best but I got some awesome form and value practice in. I began my values with observation then played around from imagination for the majority of the time. It could still use some adjustments especially the structure of the thumb and the values of the middle, ring, and pinky fingers. At one point I felt I rendered it to death and had to subdue the unnecessary details which was a new lesson for me. Anyways, this is my study for the day.

I’m a little embarrassed to say I never do master studies, the idea had never appealed to me. However, after gaining a little more confidence in my rendering skills during this challenge, it sounds like a fun and beneficial exercise! Your mention of La Lyre is the first time I’m hearing the name, and the fact that it’s difficult to find his drawings adds a certain mystery that makes buying the book even more appealing haha. I’m excited to check it out and I may see about getting a copy! How has your experience been with doing master studies? Which masters do you tend to gravitate toward for your studies?
