Summer is over

Well, I'm back at class this year. They really didn't have any of the classes that I wanted to take at a good time that I could fit in around my work schedule. So, I'm taking life drawing again to keep my chops up. Here's a page of 1 minute gestures from the last class in soft charcoal.

Oil painting is over..........

And here is my final project painting from oil painting class. The assignment was to paint a self portrait using a mirror not a photo. I went for extreme close up in monochrome. It has about 7 to 10 layers now. I think it still could use work but this is how I turned it in.

Another one from my sketchbook

This was from the same session.

Sketches from life drawing

Here's a 20 min foot study from my sketchbook. This was a week and a half ago.

Oil Painting class is coming to a close

Well here's the initial line work for the final project in Oil Painting class for the semester. The assignment is a self portrait. I've done enough self portraits for different art classes at this point that this was not very interesting to me. So, with all that I think I'm going to go for an extreme close up kinda thing. I'm also thinking of doing it with one color...maybe blue or purple. Dunno.

Life Drawing

Here's a 30 min sketch in charcoal from last night. Overall is was fun. I'm finally starting to get the hang of faces and heads. The semester is almost over and I am going to miss the easy access to drawing live models over the summer.

Abstract

Here is my abstract painting. I really really don't know what the hell I was going for. I liked it better when I was done with it than when I started but i still can't decide if I actually like it let alone which side should be the top.

Here's a 20 min pastel sketch from life drawing last week. In oil painting we finished an abstract painting but it was 2 wet to bring home and I forgot to take a pic while I was there. I didn't really like it very much but it was worth doing.

Life drawing last night

Here's a pic of a 40 minute charcoal sketch from life drawing last night.

Critique

Here's some images of everyone's work in the class from last week's critique.

Here's a couple sketches from last Monday night's life drawing class. Just graphite.

It's done

Here's the final of the picasso rip off. I painted the sides crimson. You can't see them but trust me, it's cool, heh.
