Trace - drawing and finished painting

This is my drawing alongside the finished painting thus far - I have been working on a "go to" head lay in, which will then be rendered for the final painting. I really want to push the structure of skull. This was 2.5 hours with white, utra marine blue and transparent oxide red.

Figure sketches - moving towards astetics

I did these at my buddies studio in Van Nuys - pleased with the direction they are taking - focused more on developing ascetics

Malo - first long painting

Fist long pose painting - struggled with process, felt like I was jumping around quite a bit - found and lost likeness - however, was able to see various shades of color - Can't wait to try again

Recent figure drawings - adding ascetics

I have been practicing with the Manican for some time and frankly - I'm ready for my drawings to start looking cool - it's probably a bit early - probably should works some kinks out in the manican - but can always go back later

Alla Prima - Mather

did this today and was pretty happy with it - although the lights are WAY blown out - need to find a way to simmer those down - Also the nose is a complex area that I definitely need practice with - did show some improvement with the eyes however

btw she was actually dressed like this
