Life Painting

This is the second evening this summer that I've gotten together with artist friends, hired a model and just painted. There were four of us and the three hours flew by. It's energizing to work on my own projects. Have to remember this as teaching sometimes takes precedence,



This is the underpainting in burnt sienna.



About an hour or so in. I'm working on gessoed water color paper.


2 1/2  hours. Don't want to overwork but I'll most likely go in and fix the ear but not much else.

Summer Workshops

This is a gesture paint painting that studio student Melissa Yi did during our summer workshop. She's been in the studio for the past year and a half with one on the passes I sell that let's the student attend every class I give. She's a fantastic artist and is headed to college. She'll be missed on the studio! For info on the classes here Summer Life Drawing Workshops.
