Magali's paintings

  Crayon/Pencil 40/30 cm (15,7/11,8 in) A few days later, as I can not afford models, I found this wonderful photographies book by Willy Ronnis 'Nudes - to all women'. A tresure of printed models. First one. With the pencil to start from the basis, and built the picture little by little. As I understood something about my needs, I spend time on this one, trying not to miss anything this time. It will need time but it is worth it..

  Huile/Oil 40/30 cm (15,7/11,8 in) This one should be jumping. Well. Finally she just looks like lost somewhere in the air. Weird.  It has been a while I was wondering what to work on.. colors or lines.. After those last few tries, I figured out I needed to work on drawing human beings. Bodies, portraits, postures, movement, anatomy... academic drawing. To start from the beginning finally... Let's go.

Huile/Oil 40/30 cm (15,7/11,8 in) From a falshion magazine. Drawing on oil was the challenge. Always this question to catch something quickly - and also the risk to miss something so quickly too..!

Huile/Oil 50/40 cm (19,7/15,6 in) A storm in Osaka; in September, the typhoon season. On the local 'Champ Elysées', some stairs and a long paving leading to a shrine. I crouched on the ground to take the picture of this red umbrella walking downstairs.

  Huile/Oil 40/30 cm (11,8/15,7 in)  Without drawing, again. Hands are a terrible challenge. And also how to get the essential? This photography of Kersetsz was already centered like that, this was interesting. Finally, we are always free to center and build a picture. It can help reminding this in the future..!

Gouache  40/30 cm (11,8/15,7 in)  Another try. The first one in fact.

  Gouache  40/30 cm (11,8/15,7 in)  A test. From a Chanel advertising photography in a magazine. Challenge was to try something quickly, the movement.. Without drawing. Working quickly to make sure of what works and what does not.Better know my weakness.
