    Marc and Jessica

    It is great when the models take their work as seriously as the artists. Modeling is hard work and some amateur models do not anticipate that and some experienced models get complacent. I have really enjoyed working working with Marc and Jessica independently, so it was a rare treat to work with them both in…

    Julia and Brian

    This Sunday’s drawing at the Whit was really fun. A rare treat to have two experienced models working together. And yes, drawing two models is more than twice as hard because you have two capture both figures and the relationship between them. Their casual intimacy was really beautiful. All drawings done on iPad Pro, Procreate,…

    Sunday Drawing at the Whit

    Today was unusual in that I got to join the Sunday evening figure drawing group at Whitaker Printmakers.. It was nice to see lots of familiar faces. I wasn’t sure how much room there would be to draw or paint, so I just took my iPad and figured I would be able to sketch with…

    Recent Sketch

    It has been a while since I shared anything from my sketchbook, so here are a few drawings from this week.   This particular pose is only going to be two sessions, and I was late to the first one.  It’s tough balancing time in the Studio and with the family.  This evening was a compromise.…

  • An Afternoon with the Greeks

    An Afternoon with the Greeks

    Last Sunday, I got the rare privilege of going to an art museum by myself.  I spent a couple of hours checking out the closing day of the Portland Art Museum’s show, ‘The Body Beautiful‘. It is always a bit of a quandary when ‘headliner’ art exhibits such as this come to town.  They are usually packed with people elbow-to-elbow, the exhibition space…

    Sketchbook – 08-FEB-2012

    Haven’t posted any recent sketches for a while.  Here are some recent ones. I’m going to be starting a new portrait sculpture soon.  I’m looking forward to that beginning.  I’ll post progress pictures. You can see more of my figurative work here. As always, comments welcome.

  • Sketchbook – 26-NOV-2011

    I’m almost exclusively drawing in my sketchbook at this point.  With the new baby and work, there isn’t much time left for larger projects.  I would really like to get back to sculpture, but for me, it all starts with drawing.  The power is in the original sketch.  If the drawing is weak, the subsequent…

  • Sketchbook – 01-AUG-2011

    I am enjoying painting in watercolor lately.  Between work and family, I’m lucky if I get a couple hours a week to draw now, so I’ve had to reassess my medium(s).  So, I’m focusing on drawing and painting for now. I liked how the two drawings below turned out and now that I have scanned…
