Relocating Studio Notes!

Hey everybody~! Thanks for taking the time to check out my blog, Studio Notes. This is the new home of Studio Notes, and I will be posting all future notes/articles here. If you are already familiar with my blog and are looking for older posts, you can find them HERE. There are tons of technical tips and instructional stuff, so please explore.

 

For the first post here, I thought I'd try posting a recent time-lapse video I made of a short-pose figure drawing.

 

 

In real time, it's about a 5 minute pose. 

 

I'm using Stabillo Carb-Othello pastel pencil on smooth newsprint.

 

I'm experimenting with video. Hopefully, I'll learn things as I go and the quality of my videos will improve. I do plan on doing more like this, but I don't know if I like this sped-up time lapse thing. Seems frenetic and doesn't really show the focus it takes to do those careful lines. 

 

Well, we'll see. 

 

For now, thanks for visiting!  Please, if you can take a few minutes and put something in the comment box so that I know I haven't lost everyone with this big move to the FASO platform.

 

Thank you!

Really enjoyed the short video as an budding artist myself. The time lapse was great, if anything if possible slow it up just a little. It showed me a little bit about how you think about the composition and obviously how complete it,
Thanks,
Brian

Thanks Brian - Yes I think a slow version of the video would be good. I was trying to figure out the time-laps setting on the iPhone on this one. I'm investigating other, better ways.

My artist web site is also on FASO, and I love it. Have been with them for 9 years. I've been familiar with your paintings for a few years, and like them very much, but had never seen your blog. I'm mainly a landscape painter, but also draw from a model one day a week with a group who share the cost of the model. I compare it to playing an armature sport— Some days you win—some days you loose—some days it's a draw... But it IS addictive. Welcome to FASO.

Wonderful! So expressive. Thanks so much for sharing.
