Here's a few of the works I did today for the advanced sketching for illustration class I'm substitute teaching at Art Center. We had two models in the center of the room with strong directional lighting and I decided to invent some background like they're in a restaurant. Two waitresses taking a break? In another restaurant? Who knows but I had fun drawing a couple varying compositions and doing a painting study. It's oil on paper and a limited palette: white, yellow ochre, burnt sienna, mars violet, and paynes grey. I'm primarily concerned with the lights and darks when I'm using a limited palette, but with this particular palette the painter is able to get very close to naturalistic color.
