PORTRAIT DEMO MONDAY

I like to do different images when demonstrating either oils or pastels.  It is because the process is the same regardless of what I paint.  It always goes from general, color fields and values to details...even in a portrait.

 

Some New Work February, 2024

 I have a few new pieces.  The little oil is from my Monday class, the small pastel with people from a zoom workshop with the Adirondack Pastel Society.  The 16 x 20 is my latest pastel from my studio.

MONDAY OIL DEMO 1/15/24

 Did this 8 x 10 oil demo for class.  It is always about simplifying the complicated and thinking of shapes, color and value before details.

TWO NEW ONES

 Here are two new oils done recently.  The flowers were a demo though I went back in and improved the vase after.  It is 8 x 10 oil on board.

The landscape was from my studio.  It is a view in Peacham, VT looking towards the White Mountains.  12 x 16 oil on canvas.
