Yoga Sketch Book

My figure sketches are done in a moleskine book. I love those things! I usually have a theme for the book, this time it is yoga poses. Here are two pages I did recently. I used color pencil to draw these sketches.

 

Raleigh Fine Arts Society at the Contemporary Museum

I am thrilled to be part of the NC Artists exhibition this year. There are two openings: September 28th and November 7th 6-9 PM. Over 700 artists applied with less than 80 selected! A big Thanks to the Contemporary Art Museum - Raleigh for hosting the exhibit.

Shrimp Boat Lowcountry Commissioned Painting

A few years ago, I completed a commissioned painting for a good friend of mine, Victor Wilson. He wanted a low country scene including a shrimp boat and the Charleston Light House. To narrow his idea into reality, I did several color sketches. All the sketches are below. The sketch above was the one he selected to proceed further with. 

Above is the black and white canvas study. 

Then I painted a small color canvas study, above. 

Above is the final painting, which was very large, over five feet in width. Below are the watercolor sketches that began the process. I donated these to the University of Georgia Alumni club. They auctioned them off at a fundraiser.  

 The painting below is pure color; no value or black used. 

Below is the most traditional drawing. Color pencil o paper.
