Just finished! “Gemini” 26” x 38”
New work! “Buttoned Up” 24x36 Pastel on Paper.
Oh, I forgot to post this experiment finished last week. I am still undecided about it.
New piece, something different! The model is Cassandra Lorien of Fox and Hare.
New piece! A Collaboration with friends Megan Inghram (model) and Aaron Fagerstrom (photographer)!
Another new painting of Cassandra. These poses were shot from up on a ladder above, which makes her seem kind of weightless.
A gift for the model, Seraphina Song. Thanks for working with me!
Just finished, “Girl at Play” nupastel on paper.
The model is Vera Claeys.
Gesture drawings from a live model last night. The black ones are 5 minute poses, and the one on toned paper is 10 minutes. Nupastel and charcoal stick. Life drawing is fantastic for reminding me to be efficient, less is more.
Two new pieces. I am interested in the false modesty of these poses.
This is my first time using the Arches Oil Paper, which is a specialty paper that is not gessoed, but is archival for oil paint. I did the usual pastel drawings (a bit harder to get details with this surface) and then added oil paint for texture and variety in the backgrounds. You can see bits of oil paint more clearly in the close ups.
Seraphina Song is the model.
