Karen


My portraiture class was on Friday again. Our model this week was Karen. She had fabulous features, and was a lot of fun to paint. This ended up a little more stylized than I had planned. It was an interesting experiment using the black ground that I typically use in my landscapes. Next week I am going to try using a green underpainting!

At the Beach



I am taking a great portraiture class at the moment, taught by Cynthia Marsh. Here is a picture of my son Max, painted from a photo from when we were in Hawaii a few years ago. I have a lot to learn when it comes to painting people, but I really enjoy it!
