Painting II Final, which my idiot professor calls the “Chuck Close Project”. The only thing that it really has in common with Chuck Close’s work is the grid.  Sorry for the shitty picture, I’ll try to take a better one soon! 24” x 24” canvas, oil (1” squares)

cavetocanvas: Two dresses (French) c. 1810 From the Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History: The combination of white mull, a thin and almost sheer cotton, with a cylindrical silhouette and a high Empire waistline comprises a potent evocation of classical dress. Although there are many images depicting the belting of chitons and peploi above the natural waistline, the raised waist was rarely positioned directly under the bust. This Neoclassical mannerism abetted the illusion of the body as a dramatically linear and columnar form. Fashionable Directoire and Empire beauties, however, did not embrace the architectonic solidity of ancient caryatids. Instead, their classicism was aligned with an arcadian “naturalism” that rationalized the disclosure of the supple female form. Observers of the period frequently deplored the absence of modesty conveyed by a style that was predicated on the prominence and exposure of the breasts and on the barely veiled body. The women of ancient Greece, generally swathed in modesty, would have been startled by this promiscuous public display.

Color/brush tests in Painter & PS; only those brushes (& eraser) were used on these, one done entirely in Painter 12 & the other entirely in PS CS5. Other than experiments like this I only CG in Painter, tho, because I love Painter. :V

Gorgeous, as always! :D
