The Fallen Temple - Placing the Model in a Background Painting

Nudity! Egad!  Well, just deal with it.  Besides, the setting is ancient Greece so it must be okay, just ask old master painters.  

Color Experimentation Painting with Model

Painting Detail

Face in Shadow

I like this drawing/painting, but I need to figure out how to frame/crop it better.  To Photoshop!

Monochromatic Portrait Painting

Used a Richard Avedon photo of Ezra Pound as reference.  Ugh!  Still came out distorted.  I need to work on proportions and more realistic drawings.  Done in gouache.

Experimental Painting

Done in class using different materials.  I need to start holding my paper at an angle, or standing while I paint.  Things are getting distorted.

Mastercopy Klimt

Klimt's "Black Feathered Hat" done for painting class.  Done in acrylics.

Painting Detail

Though this is a larger painting the face is the best part.

Mug Shot 2 Painting Exercise

A little warm up painting I did in class today.  Not very accurate but it has a vague resemblance to the photo reference.

The End of Finals Week

Finals week has ended so I'll try to start posting more regularly.  A painting from class, a doodle, and a drawing from class. 

Painting Model Detail

This is a detail of a painting done in my painting class a while ago.  It was a nude model session, and I don't want to offend someone by showing a nude body.  But I think it turned out nice so if you would like to see the whole painting follow this link.
