Paint-A-Thon!

The Fisherman -
Dreaming of the Seas Ahead Oil on Panel - From life April 2013.

The above painting (Model: Ward) was mostly completed at the Spring Semester Paint-a-Thon at the Academy of Art.   Our Female model absolutely flaked ( on about 20-25 people) and thank you Suzanne for pinch hitting.   

The light here was from the side ( right) about head high and I have not painted w/that light ever so it was good practice..  About 5 hours and some time @ home ..

The tableau - she continues - though not without continued effort..

"Ignominy" 12 x 10" Oil on canvas.

Jonathan - torso study/back charcoal on paper

Jacqueline - torso study /back + bum charcoal on paper

"Colleen" - demo on Drawing paper with willow and charcoal pencil..

The foot - a demo - it can begin simply as a wedge and you can go to town from there..
