Figure Drawing with a color scheme picked from a kinda creepy old painting at an antique store! (Patreon)

This afternoon I slipped into one of my favorite hometown antique stores - Old Glory Antiques in Frederick, Maryland - on my way home from lunch with my brother. I indulged in a speed run of 1/4 the building, since I didn't have time to do a full cavity search, so to speak.

On the way back out, I stopped when I saw this painting:

Idk what's going on here, but its deliciously 70s color scheme drew me in. I took this photo and decided to let it guide tonight's color scheme at figure drawing.

But first! Five-minute warmups.

We liked both of the seated poses the most, and in the end had our model do this one for the long pose:

I brought actual watercolors today (not the Inktense for once!), and amusingly, the color scheme was already "olive green and dark warm orange," so I was prepared.

Look, I know what I like.

Here's the process for the final!

(I coulda been more subtle with the furniture coverings, oops!)

I really liked this one! Here are some closeups for ya:

Feet and kneeees.

So... I think watercolors are back on the menu! We'll see what inspires a color palette next week. :)
