Yesteday was quite fun, the first minute-poses were terrible, not on the model side, but on mine. My brushes kept doing on their own. I had to tame them quickly. I wanted to see result, and the pressure I've put on myself wasnt helping. Nothing came out during the first 30 minutes. I stopped, took a beer, and went back to my easel. Repeating to myself,
the most important thing is the experience, not the result.... and from then things went smoothly. Here is a selection of my favorites of yesterday session.
I`ve been revisiting some old work... and I started to like this two pieces. I rejected them at first... but now seeing them few months later give me a fresh perspective. Like if it was the work of someone else, now that the reel scene has vanished in my memory. I see them as what they are now, and not what they could have been. I always find it very hard to judge my own work. Especially while doing it. It usually take at least a day or two to be able to select or reject. Sometime I really feel ashamed.
