Portrait class with Hollis Dunlap
This was my last figure/portrait class with Hollis Dunlap for this year. I plan to take more lessons with him in 2021.
Backyard Cove (close-up)
Here is the close-up of the painting I did of our backyard in October 2020.
Backyard Cove 10/2020
I painted this vision of our backyard in October after multiple lessons with Hollis Dunlap. I think it does show an improvement in my work as a result of those lessons. Painting close-up in next image.
Lt. River - Florence Griswold Museum
This was one of the plein air lessons with Hollis Dunlap painted onsite at the gorgeous Florence Griswold Museum.
Rocky Neck State Park
This was another plein air lesson with Hollis Dunlap at Rocky Neck State Park. This is the Ellie Mitchell Pavilion (work in progress).
Portrait/Figure Drawing Class with Jack Montmeat
This is a portrait drawn during my first portrait/figure drawing class with Jack Montmeat. Oct 2020
Antique Garden Statue Drawing
This is a drawing of our antique garden statue. It's a charcoal drawing that I did to practice charcoal before taking the portrait/drawing class. I hadn't used charcoal in about 38 years or so. I needed the refresher!
Collaboration with Sasha Dale Photography
Post from my FB page about this collaboration. This image is of Sasha Dale herself and she is a local photographer that has agreed to allow me to use her figure images. This is the first work in progress. I will be working with other photographers and thier images in the future.
Think local, focus local, support local!
This is for my photographer friends, I am taking a figure painting course and it's allowing me time to practice with a model for 3 hours per week. I can also use free images royalty free from a website, but I'd like to use local photographer's photographs for reference and give credit to my source for use of an image. I'm also doing landscapes and houses (2 commissions already). Clients might enjoy a painting from their session, especially an impressionistic painting of a boudoir memory. Something different to give as a gift to hang on the wall. If you are a photographer and interested in collaborating in some way message me.
