Someone gave me an
Art Alternatives "natural linen" canvas panel a while back. I decided to use it today in life painting. The model was lit from above and to the right, throwing most of her into shadow. I liked the natural linen canvas panel for it's tone, but not so much for the feel on the surface. (The panel was commercially primed with clear acrylic and seemed somewhat "resistant" to paint). Weird! Well, nevertheless, I rate the outcome as interesting. "K" is a favorite model.

accurate looking proportions and I'm enjoying that light!
Great sketch, interesting lighting.
she wears a hat and nothing else thats style
Where do you paint on WEdnesday? good lighting
I was instantly struck by the dichotomy of an angel and nudity. Beautifully done, Celeste!
Really love this.
I am with the others-great lighting to begin with on this one and you captured that nicely.
I haven't used a linen panel but my Creative Mark panel had a similar problem with sort of "resisting" the acrylic paint. Crazy!
Very good, Celeste! Yes, I lose patience with difficult cancasses too! Nevertheless the result was excellent!
Fine job, Celeste! I like the bit of blue! Really shakes it up in a good way!
Really Like all that reflected Light
The back-lighting is enough to capture a glance; then comes the colors you used in the shadows. So cool.
She turned out nice Celeste. I still haven't posted my rendition yet :/
Love the light on her skin...very well done.
Bellissimo!! I like it!
Beautiful work. The light, the angel/nude impression, the warm dark shadows, good choice over the usually prescribed warm/cool light/shadow contrast.
Very satisfying.
