painting class #2

Here you go another ugly old man, from 2 weeks ago. the poor old man has felt asleep while posing, so it's not completely my fault that the face sags. left side body not completed, also the chair, so it looks physically impossible. when i have a chance to look away from the detailed patches and brushes, i start to see where works and where not. funny man boob on the left side...
a shame that i can't find this one painting commented as interesting and bold by the tutor. i think it's all because the arm was just in an awkward angle. to help you imagine, it's very much like a boomerang with a big knob suggesting the hand. oh well, what a nice teacher she is.

this painting was from last class. subject: back bones. quite amazing how the picture covered up the rubbishness of the originals!
