Titi le penseur (2)


I will be drawing this model again on 9th May and I am going to be very sensitised to his head on hands poses after assessing last year's work and finding so many of them. (nude study, oil colour on brown paper, 50 x 60 cms 2007) It certainly does make geometry with the body, as in this case where it breaks up into two squares... of course I did not think of that at the time, but was trying to catch his thoughtful mood.

like the color of your blog, salmon pink. Think image on top, background for title is to big. Nice works.

I know, but I cannot manipulate the software to get it to do what I want yet. Working on it.

Wonderful new banner Jane ! I also like the color of your page, it's very soft and doesn't compete at all with the art work being displayed. You can get rid of the blue border around your banner, in case you didn't know you could, all you do is change it to the same color as your background and it disappears. I only say this because, I didn't know that myself for a while.Love all of your studies, I find them very interesting.

I like your print on the top, looks good ! You can choose to leave it out altogether or add it to the description area and I believe that will bring towards the bottom, underneath your banner. To have it on your banner at the bottom, you'd have to put it there yourself and save your jpeg as so, then upload it.

Thanks for that - yes, I was just thinking I could also edit it in Photoshop with the wacom drawing tablet and do my own lettering freehand or using the text tool. It certainly beats working!! I am making a book based on the blog with a self publisher.. did you ever think of that? It is very inexpensive becuase you do all the page building yourself...
