The Artist ( study & close up)

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006
Found this study I did for the painting "The Artist" which was posted sometime in April. Although, I really liked the larger version of this...the smaller ones have a certain quality that I really like. Just thought I would share it!

Portrait of Jim ( revised & close up )

Monday, September 11, 2005
I've done a couple more studies of Jim today and finally have one that I like...The pastel application and the glazing oc colors is more to what I've been looking for.
The painting is on Gray Canson paper with NuPastel, Unsions and Terry Ludwigs.
I've also attached a detail of the eyes, nose and mouth area so you can get a closer look at the pastel application.

Jim "quick study"

Thursday, September 7th, 2006
Hopefully I can back to my daily postings...just been too many projects I've been working on. One, has been a committment to working with the quick pose (drawing from a model with poses no longer than 1-4 minutes). My second project has been trying to figure out ways to do pastels of the sketches. I posted one a while back but have been looking something a little different.
This quick study is of my brother "Jim" who lives in Yukon, Oklahoma. The time frame on the study was 1 hour and 20 minutes. It's painted on a warm LaCarte support with Terry Ludwigs and Unisions....and a few NuPastels!
Still not quite what I was looking for ...may try it again tomorrow!
