Sheila in Blue

This piece is from my first session back in portraits. Took a while to find my way again! I'm excited to see where my pursuit of portrait painting will take me this year!

sheri's shoulders

Today's life drawing model was absolutely amazing! She is very long limbed and often stood with her shoulders on an extreme angle. Not sure I got them right here, although her left should really was that high... Still very happy with it. : )

$60 - 6x8" watercolour painting

I couldn't resist choosing this picture from the sketchy app, which provides photos to work from, since her pink hair is so cool!

workin' hard and havin' fun

SOLD

I was asked, along with 4 other painters, to do a watercolour painting demonstration from life. Here we are painting the lovely model (I couldn't resist adding the other artists!) That's me in stripes. Fellow members of the art group walked around and watched, asked questions, ate cookies and had fun! 

$70 - 8"x10" watercolour painting.

Our life drawing sessions have moved to a wonderful new studio that has great lighting and lots of space! I was worried about the change but a fresh location created a new energy in all of us.

Today's portrait painting model was the lovely Kate. No matter how much I paint, I find that the challenge doesn't get any easier, it just changes...

I think winter is officially over. It was a long one and hard to keep motivated through. But with spring in the air, I'm inspired to paint more.

3 in 40 minutes

I spent Sunday at a Life Drawing Session where I drew and painted these 10 minute poses. That's my favourite amount of time since, the 1 minutes are so fast and quite difficult, and the 20 minutes allow time to get fussy.

$50 EACH

lost in thought

I love watercolour because it's about drawing and, as usual, I've left all my pencil marks that show my process. This is another one from this week's life drawing session.

Still enjoying the drawing marathons and working on giving the model a frame of reference.

don't over think it

The spontaneity of life drawing is so wondrous. When you only have 20 minutes to finish a painting it turns out completely differently than if you had lots of time to think about it.

When I get home from a life drawing session there is always a question of whether or not I should touch up my paintings. But I always decide not to since the painting experience for each piece is over now. It was done from life and it should remain so.
