FIGURE STUDY | OIL

Recently I've run across the concept of "daily painting." It has been defined by one as the following: “Daily painting is the practice wherein an artist produces a piece of art every day, or every weekday, or almost every weekday – or just periodically. As that rambling sentence shows, there are no steadfast rules. Heck, a daily painter does not even have to be a painter, just an artist dedicated to their art.” It is more precisely, attempting to paint one painting every day for a set period of time. 

With upcoming trips, such a feat may be impossible the next week or two, but will not stop me from painting when I can. Today's model came from a magazine clipping, and allowed me to entertain my desire to accurately translate the human figure into the language of paint. I completed this study in a number of hours, no more than four, and am excited to get to it again tomorrow.
