Sketchbook 2

This is over a couple of days. Maybe 3 or 4 hours total.

Sketchbook

This is a fountain just south of the art institute. It started raining 15 minutes into the painting, but I really like what the paint was doing.

Some Gesture Paintings

Nude Female

This painting started out as being an exercise in a loose, fast technique and trying to use colors. I am very happy with the way it turned out.

1 Hour

This is a quick painting of Joe. I had to make up a project during the week we used a model and he was kind enough to sit in for me.

1st Still Life

This is my second water color painting. My first real still life. I love the way it turned out too. It’s an african figurine, a plaster hand w/ broken fingers and a shell. I love the shadow from the figure and the shell. At the beginning of the class that shell didn’t look like anything, but a blob and half way through the class it looked awful so I am glad it turned out ok.
