My first post




Hello everyone,
I think it's about time I posted an introduction in the forum before I get too comfortable in my lurking mode. I'm Kang from Malaysia studying in the Academy of Realist Art in Toronto. I really only started painting the figure in September 2004 so I've still got a long way to go. Painting the figure has such a steep learning curve!

So far this is the closest thing to a portrait that I've done, but I'm planning on doing a self portrait in the near future. The rest of my other stuff are all nudes & a couple of casts. Maybe I will post the nudes in the nude section one day.

Great skin tones - you can tell that's painted from life.

You will be an asset here!

Welcome Kang!

This is a wonderfully successful example of color development in a portrait with a challenging lighting situation. I am very impressed! There is a lot we all can learn from this example. I look forward to your coming posts, and yes, do put some works in the Nude Unveilings section.

Thanks for posting this,

Garth
