"Red Ball cap" 12in x 12in oil on linen

While the model was posing I thought she needed a red ball cap, so I painted one on.   If life were only that easy.   I painted this on a Senso panel that has a clear gesso coating so the linen shows.   The only think I don't like about it is that the linen texture is not fine, but rather coarse.     I like to have the drawing show some and this panel is good for that.

"Green linen shirt"

Our model rode her bike to the painting session and wore this lovely green linen shirt.   There is a lot of enjoyment for everyone during these 3 hour sessions.   So glad to be doing it again even tho it is every other Friday.   But I will take it!

"Analogous Figure Painting" 12" x 12" Oil

Last Friday I tried something new, well, new to me!    Atelier Dojo Austin (Texas), has open studio available by Zoom, so anyone in the country can see the model and paint along with others painting or drawing the same image.  I hadn't painted a figure in about 3 months also I wanted to see how it worked.    You join up at their site and pay $5 to join one of the open studio sessions and they send you a link and at the time of the session you join the group.

The dress she wore was a middle grey with black polka dots and the background was bright Kelly green.   I decided to make the dress a color that would represent the grey and choose colors that were close together on the color wheel, analogous colors.   Teal, green, blue/violet, with the skin tone, boots and chair being brownish.   I decided to tie everything together with the circle and not have the green bleed off which left her floating.    All was painted in about 2.5 hours.   I am an hour later than Austin and by 10:00 I was ready to stop, it was past my bedtime!

Atelier Dojo Austin has several open studios to choose from.    Check it out!

"On the beach" 16in x 20in oil on linen

She has the most beautiful long thick black hair.  It was actually a little longer but I had to have the curls in the picture.  I added the sketchy background for effect.   I know the horizon is a little high but it looks good for the composition.

"Blue Shoes" 14in x 11 in Oil on linen

The model got into this pose and at first I was thinking that she was holding so much tension.  After looking through a viewfinder I noticed that the pose was so dynamic!    Love the position of the legs and arms so I made it all about that.   In the three hours that she posed, I sketched it in two times too large, third time was the charm.   I had to realize that the center of the canvas was the hem of her skirt, then it worked out.

Thank you for viewing my art.

"Red Robe" 16in x 12in" oil on paper

We haven't had this model for about 4 years and I am glad she is back.   The light was focused on her upper chest so her head was in shadow, taking the focus off her face.

"Dressed in Pink" 14in x 18in oil on linen

This is a painting I started last Friday and finished today.   I worked on keeping the outer edges soft and detail on the focal point.   It is really hard to keep from overworking the painting.   I had to not be too quick to put the brush work on.

"Sparkling Sun Hat" 12in x 12in oil

This is the same pose that we had last Friday, but I sat in a different position.   I was right in front and the composition was not conducive to asymmetry so I decided to make everything symmetrical.

Self portrait Demo #2 11" x 14" oil

My Tuesday class wanted to do their self portraits (they just can't be upstaged by the Monday class) so I did a second demo for them.   I know, it looks a lot like the one I did a couple of months ago, but there is one small difference.   The first one I did  I just happened to be on Percocet because I had smashed my finger (my non painting hand) so I had to have 6 stitches.   The demo had been planned for weeks so I had to do it.   I do think this one turned out better. ;-D

There are about 58 photos that one of my students, Stan Sternberg, took. To view the Demo please click here.

Here is the first demo that I did while on percocet and my eyes do look a little glazed...  And just to let you know, my finger is doing fine, the smashed bone is healed and there is just a scar.

"KB reclining" 12" x 16 oil on linen

Here is a sketch I started yesterday and worked a little on today.  I am trying to paint technically accurate while keeping the brushwork loose.   It is like doing two opposite things at the same time.

"Self #9" 11" x 14" oil

Started a new painting session today and everyone is going to paint a self portrait.  To get them started I did a demo of the process.   Next Monday I have hired a model so they can get some practice with a real person.  Then the following weeks they will work on their own self portrait.

"Sipping coffee" 20" x 16" oil

We had the same model as a few months ago and my easel was about in the same vantage point.   I was planning on lighting her from the right side but it did not work out for everyone so we changed the light to the left.  On this painting I used a palette knife in some areas.

Swirling Hair 18" x 14" oil

She was sitting in front of a gold leaf panel and it had a greenish quality to it.   Didn't know if it would work with all the other colors but looking at it now it think it works.

"Velvet trimmed hat" 14" x 11" oil

The warm skin tone in contrast to the cool background is my favorite part of this sketch.   The background color I put on about three weeks ago with Gamblin Fast Matte colors.   It was a blend of burnt sienna, dioxazine purple, indian yellow, cad red light and ultramarine blue with a little quick dry white.   They have a matte finish and dry fast so they are good to put over an oil primed linen.

This was so much fun to do for the end of summer.  I tried to keep the focus on the upper half of the figure by subduing the lower half.
