Another Randy oil sketch


Randy has a whole suitcase of costumes. Sure makes it fun to paint! Quick 3 hour sketch. 9 x 12

Alla Prima Week - Randy

These were from our alla prima class (and some extra sessions outside) each one is a 3 hour pose, 8 x 10 (except the one above which is 9 x 12)
It was aerobic...oil sketches.


Alla Prima Week - Raven


We painted a number of quick portraits, generally about 2 1/2 hours when you count the model breaks. Changing costumes, background and lighting made it fun!
These are all Raven, and 8 x 12.

Understanding Modern Art


Last week we spent the whole week working on our own still lifes. As always, I set up still lifes a bit more complicated than necessary. I'm calling it "Understanding Modern Art". Somewhat tongue in cheek, that is the name of the book in the still life. 12"x12"

Final Rose


Finished Rose last week. Refined some of the forms and tried to bring the light up in the hair.
