La Boheme

Anyone who knows me knows who this is. work in progress 14X18 Mendocino California

I’ve decided to do a drawing a day for my personal artistic growth. I’ll post my drawings on Instagram so come over and follow me there if you’d like. I’ll occasionally post them here too I’m sure.

Mendocino CA-work in progress

Here’s a small painting I started yesterday. 12×12.” When I started it I thought it would be pretty easy but so far it hasn’t been.

Beach

Yesterday I worked more on the couple sitting on a log. I worked out and cooled off the skin on both of them to separate them from the main figure which is the lanky preteen walking across the beach. You can see that I plugged in the little girl in the distance. I also workedContinue reading “Beach”

Girl on the Beach

Next paintings started. This is another painting from my trip to Natural Bridges beach in Santa Cruz. So many wonderful things there to paint. This one is of people just doing their thing on the beach. The walking girl is mostly done except for her face and some adjustments here and there. I love theContinue reading “Girl on the Beach”
