same dude, different pose

I'm getting lots of questions about life drawing, so next session I'll take some pictures of my set up and the studio! 

This painting was a 20 minute pose which I drew with 6B pencil then painted with watercolour during the session. I do not change or add anything once I am home. The direct painting approach I take (completed in one sitting) means, it is what it is!

A Day at the Museum

I spent the day at the Royal Ontario Museum where I drew this gorgeous giant panda. Today I decided ALL sketches will be on watercolour paper, no more cheap sketchbooks or newsprint... just in case it turns out 'watercolour worthy'!

the bowl

Here's my version for the painting challenge from Rookie Painter. It's on artist's quality Yuppo paper, which is 'slippery' like finger paint paper or vellum.

orange blossoms

I loved painting these. I painted with watercolour for 12 years before deciding to concentrate on oil a few years back. It's so different. Lately I've been back at it, trying to stay more active in both.

Path from Spadina House

Gorgeous weather today.  I guess everyone is with family for the Thanksgiving long weekend because the Spadina gardens were deserted!

Tumbled

I accidently broke this clay pot while planting my flowers, so I went with it.
