Finally, I found the time to organize my blog! I like this look better. Now I need to find the time to scan, and finish what I have been drawing these last few months...

I also need to figure out how to improve my website, I have been fighting with dreamweaver on and off for sometime now....

Photo and Photoshop

2010-05-26T20:32:00.002-05:00

I used a photo as a guide for the pose, and worked in photoshop to build the sketch and paint, I found that it helped me a lot with proportions on my next life drawings.

Day Bg for Shadows on the Wall

2010-05-26T20:30:00.003-05:00

It was very interesting to work on these two layouts, to decide the colours for day and night, and give it the painterly feeling I imagined. Overall, I am happy with the way it turned out.

2010-05-26T20:26:00.001-05:00

This is the only acrilic painting from last years painting class that I really like.

Back again! an old painting.

2010-05-26T20:23:00.002-05:00

Acrilic on canvas using a glazing technique. It was my first experience with a live model and this technique, the clouds didn't come out as I imagined, but I like it anyway.
