Romans - the 3rd Canvas



This one completely FREAKED  me out.  I've always believed that I cannot draw the human form, not even a part of it.  Every time I tried, I choked in a big way.  So what on earth was I doing attempting human hands on an 8 foot square canvas??  Insanity, for sure.

It just goes to show you that my God is the one who paints, not me.

I did baby-step this, in that I didn't use full color.  I have a very dear friend who is a far better artist than I, and she advised me to work on tone this first time out.  So I used white, brown and black.  Simple.  Getting the reference proved to be amusing.  My friend Scotty stood in a north facing window holding dry-erase markers while I took the pic!
