old quick study of edgar payne, right before my old laptop died

 copies of photographs to study human faces. Second picture I traced the image and color picked the photograph.

quick painting during class 

a quick sketch  

the first is a quick study painting of my keys. Second one is just for fun for the weekly challenge I am doing with some friends at ArtAfter 

some gouache paintings and the word of the week assigment - grotesque

Gouache paintings

Second week of school! For my illustration class we are assigned a weekly word to create a piece exclusively using tradition media. The first painting is for the word "promise" and it was really fun to do! I wanted to do something that wasn't very obvious so after mulling over it on the weekend I made something reminiscent of a childhood promise. Definitely have to do better on staging and posture. The second painting is from the winter figure drawing marathon session that I attended over the break. Our last day is a painting class with Cameron Chun and we did this painting for around 6 hours. I think it's my second time using gouache for figure painting. It was really fun, but was quite a challenge too. 

eyvind earle and anders zorn

We went to eyvind earle gallery today and saw his amazing, decorative - yet very believable and natural paintings. Afterwards we went around and sketched around carmel. 

Saw this shop front today the colors were so pretty. 

Another painting at the bottom. Trying to just make it simple since I didnt have much time. 

Studies of anders zorn paintings. His watercolors are so amazing. Unbelievably photographic like and simple solutions for complex objects. 

Also, some sketches from today. I dont do much fanart but I really enjoy Sherlock :-) trying to simplify and caricature the character. 

And kitty!
