In my continuous quest to encourage my students to think abstractly in order to create non abstract paintings, I did this demo in my oil painting class

Marketplace  9 x 12 oil on canvas

10 minute pose

 Happy to be back drawing from life.  Challenging and fun it forces me to make decisions authoritatively and respond to the model with no time to over analyze

 My demo from my oil class yesterday.  I start with defining the color fields and then get more detailed.

So, I am no watercolorist but I have been playing with them from time to time.  I admire artists who do beautiful watercolors and I feel to really know it's one of your mediums, you need to be able to do it all....still lifes, figures, landscapes and plein air.  I am far away from that but enjoyed this and feel I learned some stuff

Two new oils

Shoeshine  6 x 6 oil on board

Did these two oils over the last couple of days.  Shoeshine is a 6 x 6 oil and 3 On a Beach is 12 x 16
