NEW WORK! Well, relatively new work.


A self portrait. Oil on paper, spent two and a half, maybe three hours on it back in January. Straight alla prima stuff, nothin' fancy. Super limited palatte, too: burnt umber, black, white, and a little cadmium red. We were looking at Rembrandt's stuff at the time, so the idea was to duplicate his palatte (and ideally, his skill.)


A figure painting from the very next session of my figure painting class. Same deal here - paper, single session, alla prima, limited palatte. This is a lot larger, though - about 6 feet tall, and since the figure is seated, if he stood up he'd be about 9 or 10 feet.


A graphite on paper drawing from similarly early in the semester. I think this was a little faster, maybe an hour and a half.


About 2.5 hours of graphite (or was it conte?) on paper.
