Unfinished business: Figure paintings

Dean Fisher's figure painting class was paused due to the COVID quarantine. The good news is I'll never have to finish painting those hands!

Drawings: Samir

Weekend workshop with Melanie Reim. Always great to do a 2-day life drawing intensive with a great teacher -- she pushes you to work fast, and your work improves in the process. Pick your charcoal up!  Complete your shapes! Follow the direction! Work from the inside out! Do your thumbnails!  All good:)

The Purple Kimono (Charcoal, Pastel)

A quick drawing at Melanie Reim's studio. Started with compressed charcoal, wanted to try a hit of color, tried soft pastel dipped in water. Didn't work! Maybe oil pastel would be better?

Here are some more quick sketches of Erica. She was a beautiful model to draw.
