Now that I am focusing so much on landscape painting, I don’t want to let my figure drawing skills get rusty! To stay in shape I’ve been going in to the GCA once or twice a week to practice short pose portrait sketching. Here are a few of my favorites from the last few months:
4 hr sketch, graphite and white chalk on paper, 2013
Liz 3 hr sketch, graphite on paper, 2013
Steve 6 hr sketch, oil on linen, 8″x10″, 2013
Miatta, 6 hr sketch, 8″x10″ oil on linen, 2013.
Grant, 3 hr sketch, oil on archival bookboard, 8″x10″, 2013
