 Great time in figure group this morning...my favorite model. These are 5 minute sketches..oil on paper...except the sitting down was 25 minutes.  With that one, I didn't quite capture the gesture

Plein Air Convention Tucson

I will be one of the faculty of the Plein Air Convention in Tucson, Arizona in April.  Hope some of you are there!

ALSO!  Think about joining me to paint on the beautiful island of Korcula in Croatia Oct 7 to 16, 2017!   More information at http://www.slikamilina.ca

It says pastel but oils would be fine as well!

2 pastels...Bartender and Sunny Field

I haven't done many pastels recently so got back into it.
Bartender is 12 x 16 and Sunny Field is 9 x 12

"Marketing" 16 x 20 Pastel

Not sure about this one and working large in pastels isn't natural for me

20 minute paint sketche

 The model didn't show up at my drawing group this morning so we all modeled for each other...20 minutes each oil paint on paper

Food Shopping

Demo from my Monday oil class is 12 x 16 "Food Shopping"....continuing the concept of abstracting shapes to simplify complex images
