Amedeo Modigliani Jeanne Hebuteme 1917-1918 #28
Sketching from the masters Modigliani's Jeanne Hebuteme 1917-1918 # 28 mechanical pencil and colored pencils. I've always loved her strong face and expression. I have a hard time doing yellow in faces which are seen a lot in Modigliani's paintings. So I am trying more subtle coloring for skin. Learning as I go. I am trying to sketch the master but make it more my own and I think I'm getting that as she's more like my style but using Modigliani's graceful swan neck. I think I'm falling in love. I love the colors he frames his subjects with often the most luscious purple/violet and green with hints of other colors. Who knows what those circular shapes are bottom? They do draw the eye upward and the red has the color of the hair in it which the scan didn't capture. His eyes are so interesting. I am thinking I will continue this even after the week is over as I want to fill my sketchbook with these and also I am challenged and learning so much from Modigliani and Chagall as well as the others.
