Workshop paintings, part deux

More paintings from the workshop. Haven't decided yet whether I like the others enough to post them.

Oil Sketch Figure Painting Workshop

Here's my first painting from this weekend's workshop. The idea was to paint the figure in short poses (15-30 minutes) concentrating on large light and shadow shapes, and rendering warm and cool areas. It was more of an exercise than an opportunity to produce polished work, so they all look a little rough. I'm mostly happy with my anatomy and proportions; the hardest part was finding the warm and cool areas of the flesh tones.
