Hare are a few new things from my time at Tony Ryder's school.  I am loving what I am learning about how to draw what I am seeing.. convexity, shadow behavior, light and shaping my strokes ( this is all not easy!)..

my toned drawings are less easy to photograph.. will work on that.. below Maribou about 2 plus hours on tuesday..

Eli - great model - about 6 hours I think..

above another figure from this week.. an allaprima painting of Sarah P on mylar ( first time trying it) - about 3 hours and a 1.5 hour graphite gesture of Sarah P..

some new studies from life and some master studies..

 

 

 

some posters and whatnot from Tony Ryder's school first two weeks..

A few posters - I think that's Maribu on the left.. with Anna W - designed blue gel light at lower left ( on the natural light side of studio).. poster on right with warm light on lower left..



John as model in natural light ... John as cowboy with doubled orange gel on light at lower left ( and blue light on right side).. ( and natural light from above ! phew!)


An assignment - just a first draft for Rob Liberace's online class..


 
 a drawing i am doing for a Rob Liberace online class I signed up for.. ( 3 color chalk drawing..)

 

a few new heads and figures..

top two are about 1.5 hours from Glen's class.. (in the method of Frank Reilly!) - the rest are 20 mins - 1 min gestures from SF figure drawing sessions.. I wish these people had some LIGHT!

a few recent head studies..

two new studies from Henry's and a master copy..

some new figure studies in charcoal and oil paint(s)

Kristin from HY's figure class where I interlope.. About 3.5 hours on canva-paper 12 x 16"


Matt on canva-paper as well 3 hours 12 x 16..

above a detail of Angela.. though I detoured from her likeness a bit to design shapes more. .. she is a fantastic model! ( whole figure below.. about1.5 hours)..



above - Bonnie from SOMArts 7 25 09 about 10 minutes..
some 2 minute gestures of Bonnie..

charcoal head study..

18 x 24 .. general 4b pencil.. lots of "hole-filling" and smooth newsprint.. title: "spladness" i can say no more..

two new figures..

Above two alla prima paintings from Henry's Figure class.. some good things and both and some I did not have time to sort.. both 12 x 16 on canva-paper.. about 3 hours each.. model: Lyric

doodles need time in the sun too!
