Master Study - the milkmaid

I've been wanting to do a master study for a while and the topic came up in a discussion at work. I saw this Vermeer while I was on vacation and was amazed at how vibrant the colors were. No reproduction can match the original oils (as with any painting). The detail on the bread alone held my attention for quite some time.
I'm trying to do this painting like digitally like a real painting, no transforms no undo's just paint. I'm also recording this one, so I'll probably post a process vid at some point.

Lifedrawing 11-14-09

So it's been a few months since I've been to a lifedrawing session. Work's been taking up my weekends lately, so I was happy when I went to this one. I only got to attend half of it though.
The first one was about 10 mins the others were 20. The last one I had a rather unfortunate seat, but thought it would be a bit obvious if I moved.

Muffins?

Over a week with no posts? Ah well. been doing a lot of 3d, think I might start something like the daily sketches but w/ zbrush. Have to see what my time is like.


I saw this on Tam's blog and felt like painting it. So I did.
