slender elegance


Our figure painting model was just lovely today. She had such a subtle slender elegance. Drawn with a strong contour pencil line, then warm red and cool green watercolour added.

sparkly


I painted this bright 'sparkly' model at last week's portrait session. Her hair was so cool, and fun to paint. Again, not sure why but, I love this long thin board size for faces. It gives everyone a kind of graceful long look. ; )

brain food

SOLD
$40 - 5X7" original oil painting on 1"cradled board
When we were kids we loved smarties, or as we called them, brain food! I still love them. They're not only tasty but also fun to eat, sorting by colour and sharing. I still eat the red ones last ; ) 
Painting sides are painted a lovely purple to match the background colour.

triangulate

The dynamic shapes that the human figure can make, especially when you aim for design, are always a unique pleasure.

zone

This model was so gracious. It's funny, models can be perfectly still and be in their own zone but still be giving so much energy to the artists.

#OneWeek100People2019 Challenge

The challenge started today! So, off I went to life drawing class with pencil in hand.
I always try to capture one good little pencil portrait for my sketchbook. 
Below are some gesture drawings. I added the artists... (I have to get to 100 somehow!)

The challenge was started by Marc Taro Holmes, a wonderful fellow urban sketcher and awesome artist. Below are a few of the 2 minute gestures. 
Anyone can join in the fun. Give it a go, see the facebook page and hashtag it #OneWeek100People2018 
That's 22 people sketches. (Let's agree that drawing the same person counts.)
