more experimental

Maybe the heat has gotten me.  Can't stop playing with ideas.

more experimenting

I prepare the surface before I go to the model session, then paint on it letting the papers define the figure.  Draw carefully, value is always a problem.  Probably needs more work.  Always looks different on blog, probably my poor photography.

Sketch, torn paper

This is a drawing I did at the Watercolor Society last Wednesday.  I took the sketch, which was on sketch paper and tore it up, then reglued down in an attempt to get more expression.  I am still working on this but like the stance.

a drawing

Went to the Saturday morning nude session, have missed several this summer.  We plan on doing a nude show in the fall, I better get busy.  This is a 20 minute drawing.

Paint-a-long

Am trying to get some examples together for the Paint-a-long at Fort Bend Art League on Tuesday.  I have been a little lazy this August and am short on examples. 

another effort/background needs work.

Back to my work

am trying to get back to my work, have been so busy that I am way behind.  Here’s a start from last Saturday.

demonstration

I did a demonstration for Bellville workshop, this is the result.  I started with a quick sketch.

Bellville workshop

I did a 2 day workshop in Bellville, Texas at Holland Street Gallery.  The gallery is on the city square in Bellville and is like the social center of the town.  We had every sq. ft. of that gallery classroom full, and we had a great time.  There was alot of great art produced, as well as alot of good conversation.  Will go back next year for sure.
