Figure study: female nude

Here is another original oil I painted "alla prima" (one session).  I painted this female nude at a 3 hour figure and portrait group I attend.  I started going to figure drawing and painting groups about 3 years ago because I was always told that the best way to improve your skills is to draw the human figure from life.  When in college we drew and painted models but since graduation, I took a rather long break and am very glad to be back into it.   I can definitely see my own progression.  If you are interested in purchasing this piece, please contact me.

"Earth"

"Earth"

 

 

I painted this original oil of one of our nude models using just transparent oxide red in one (alla prima) 3 hour session. I wanted to focus on the tonalism in the figure and not have to fuss with color. "Earth" was an awesome model; her dreadlocks added character. This painting is for sale, for details contact me.

This is an original pastel on suede board from one of my portrait/figure painting sessions.  This model had a lovely sheer drape wrapped around her.  Back poses remind me of  the artist Ingres, whom I admire. For more information on this painting that is for sale, please contact me.

West Glacier: plein air painting

Here is an example of  a plein air painting taken to the next level.  Not all plein air paintings need to be reworked, but this one did.  The clouds were moving in and my family was anxious to get going so I left it as is. (top)

I felt I did capture the color and feel of the raging river in Glacier National Park (Montana) but I wasn't satisfied with the result.  I printed out my reference photo and brought the painting to a level that I'm happy with.

The finished oil, "West Glacier" is 12" x 9" and is for sale for $100 plus $6 shipping. (unframed)

"Fresh"

Fresh (oil)
This  10" x 12" brand new oil painting is currently for sale at Mt Living Studio in Manitou Springs, Colorado. This started out as a plein air painting in my backyard but I took it into the studio for a bit of tweaking.  The quilt is an old one as is the antique laundry basket.  This painting actually tells quite a bit about me: I love quilts, antiques and I use my clothesline  as much as possible.
