I love the idea of having ...Kim, this is beautiful. I love the idea of having a painting that you work on a bit at a time as a bit of a warmup. Keeps you interested and excited about it, knowing that you aren't going to stare at it for 8 hours... Plus, the visual break likely helps spot issues quickly, avoiding lengthy repaints. It also keeps the energy of 'play' to the piece. We far to often overlook play as a serious and invaluable part of our creative process. Nobody starts drawing as a child to develop discipline and good work habits. We draw and paint because its fun, and we want to play. Finding ways to maintain this in our work as a professional is crucial. <br /><br />I'm a big fan of the explorative nature of this piece as well. I am a planner, and it's hard for me to let go of that and just wait and see where a piece wants to go. I tend to do studies, and studies, and when I finish those, I do a study. I have a piece in the works that would benefit from both of these processes, and I am glad I came across your blog and read this post. Thanks!!<br /><br />Seth GreenwaldSeth Greenwaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493143576457392610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979346361840826119.post-89265634453427801362013-07-02T07:40:08.048-07:002013-07-02T07:40:08.048-07:00Hi Melissa.

My fingers are itching to paint it. Wishing you the best with your art.

I love the fact that you started late - I'm one of those 20 somethings that thought I was WAY too late to the game too, until I realized it's my life, and I'm never too late to change it. So I applaud you for chasing your dreams and inspiring others to realize it's NEVER too late to chase down your dreams. Your work is lovely - I am particularly enchanted with this painting, especially the very 1st version for some reason. The crispness, the clarity and the beauty of the organic shapes draping over and down her body are perfection! You have beautiful work and I can't wait to see more and more of it in the future! =) Happy painting!Melissa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507649499725776209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979346361840826119.post-80226578493114459022013-06-28T07:34:13.176-07:002013-06-28T07:34:13.176-07:00Thank you Katherine.

I have different textures that I've scanned in to create interest, sort of like toning your canvas to get rid of all that white. The dress is from a pattern I found some place that I changed with filters in PS and then put it over my sketch in a multiplied layer. Hope this helps. BTW,you have some beautiful colored pencil work on your blog. Lovely.

Your process really intrigues me on this piece. What do you mean by adding the texture over top of the drawing. What medium did you use for the colors? I love it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600673251180423439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979346361840826119.post-32594514967963726642013-06-15T09:00:40.566-07:002013-06-15T09:00:40.566-07:00Thank you for your comment Rachel.Thank you for your comment Rachel.The Art of Kim Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725289404334038843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979346361840826119.post-27775379391459883442013-06-12T14:06:13.370-07:002013-06-12T14:06:13.370-07:00Excellent.
