Round Up

Its been slightly over a year since I started this Blog. I have found it enormously helpful in documenting my progress and evolution as a painter. There is no better place to experiment and try new things than with a live model. I started painting at Bobbi Baldwin's figure class this past year. I have uploaded figure paintings that were posted this past year. It had been years since I painted from a live model and I found it very challenging. I kept trying new things and I realized that I needed improvement in many areas. It also was good to get immediate feedback from other artists.

There is a Thursday night figure class at Patris 's Studio and I plan to get going on that and stick with it. I want to grow as a painter. Its only $10 for a 3 hour pose. Can you beat that deal?

There is no instruction and you never know what to expect. One of the painters atDon Hatfields class was commenting about last Thursdays drop in class where one new artist decided to take it upon himself to critique everyone's painting regardless whether they wanted to hear it or not. This class is definitely going to be interesting.





I wish I would have painted that mellon leg better. These are all 3 hour poses. 16 x 20 oil on linen.
