the color theme was very challenging for me to grasp.... soo subtle and degas did it all in broken strokes so i went pastel in corel painter :\ hard to mix colors on canvus so i decided to go broken strokes as well, its fun for sure but it's going to take practice to achieve good draftmanship / handling of it!!

tried "artist's oils" today in corel...I THINK 80 percent of the brushes do the exact same thing but maybe im wrong LOL. anyway it was a good learning experience.. since this brush set has a trail off, and doesnt have size sensitivity :\ i still cant nail the lighting.. his face should glow more orange.. bg should glow a bit too.. have to keep studying how degas makes his image glow. also need to learn how to make objects look like they fade off into the background.. because right now my paintings look super flat. i understand it is a combination of color harmony and edges but it needs lots of practice :\ might take some time to practice painting some still lifes.. because the images on olgas gallery has shitty quality and it only shows me his end product, i need to practice with some raw real life material
oh i didnt finish the bottom half of the image.. so if ur wondering what is wrong with his left hand, hes suppose to have it in his pocket LOL ... watching transformers and have school tmr :)) that's it for today!

study on degas' jockey pic
added on some colors... learned from a few words taken in by monet.. and an improvement on overall values. realistically this lighting situation shouldnt happen because it seems like the sun is rising from where the observer is facing, this would mean the jockeys should just be rim lit.
always remember to have unity... with a touch of variety
