Recent works at the studio of Travis Schaht in Winter Tribeca, NYC

Kathleen - oil on linen from life over about 5-6 hours I think.  About 10 x 12"

And a progression from umber block-in to finish.. I moved that ear!  

John Oil on ARches Cold Press paper for oil paint..   Shoulda' toned it as those first paints are a doozy (for me) on bright white!  Great model to draw/paint!  From life - all of these are in Natural winter NYC light!

Danny, from life - about 3-4 hours on RSG treated Daler-Rowney grey paper ( Danny's invention- thank you for the gift of the paper!)..  From life..

There is one more to post but I will need it to dry a bit as it's a bit shiny.. Thank you much much to Travis Schlaht for allowing me to paint with him and learn from him.. A great guy, fantastic artist and teacher and also, (I am told) has a mean hook shot from above the key!.

Travis explains the finer points of the pick-and-roll to Kathleen, our 2 session model !

A self portrait quicky on canson canvas pad .. about 2 hours..

The Violinist - from life. Painted at a small workshop with Travis Schlaht - Jan 2015

Wolfgang in Oil on Canvas 10" x 12"  And a process image of the steps!  Glasses in perspective are my nemesis but fun to study how they serve the image and the feeling of the person!   Started in late December 2014 and completed in 2015

Dual side-lights head drawing-demo for my Heads and Hands class.. about 25 minutes on toned paper heightened with white chalk.
