Another installment in my ongoing blogposts about teaching painting! lol! Here's a couple of the nudes from last week that have been painted over opaquely. I have a feeling that the accurate repainting of a transparent ebuache is akin to what Degas meant when he said, "Ah! The transparent impasto of the Old Master's!" When I was younger I always thought he was talking about some special kind of painting medium, but now I feel he's actually talking about a process, a way of arriving at color. I liked how these came out given the triage environment that is the classroom. oil on canvas panel, 24 by 18

i love those paintings.
hahah, whered the other one go? why couldnt we have that model??!??
I carefully 'scraped down' (actually up) the third painting from class and want to bring it in to show that if you want more smoothness in order to go back and render more, it's a great way to go.
