Saturday's painting...

...
Was awake at 4 am
A grey sky this morning, and everywhere still.
Then suddenly about 5am the grey sky was ablaze in peachy pinks...
And as quickly as it came, it went.
Dull grey skies again.
This is the last try painting after Lin Fengmian's ladies.
I am not a figure painter.
Actually, it is not as much as that, but my hand shakes a little anyway, and my finger will tap the screen unexpectedly (causing a few problems when I need to be more accurate). This is fine when painting a landscape, as I can always incorporate it in the painting, but not when doing a more accurate figure. Although I have done a couple of in situ scribble sketches of people in the car park, and scribbling people is fine because my hand is constantly moving with that.
I have to hold my breath when drawing/painting a fine detail, and my hand/fingers behaves themselves then. But that is not very doable for a whole painting...

So this lady got influenced by the peachy pink sunrise.

I noticed that Lin Fengmian was influenced by the Futurism movement. Some of his ladies have been done in this manner. I would love to try one of those, but I know my limits, it would leave me incredibly frustrated. As a teenager I loved 'Dog on a Leash' by Giacomo Bella (1912). But these are paintings other people have the capability to do, but they are not for me. But I love them.

Anyway, my painting for today after Lin Fengmian...
