The Big One: A work in progress

priming

underpainting

rough sketch

starting to block the forms in

One hour Portraits: I've lost track of the days...

I was trying to upload my portraits as they were done, but my internet has been down for a week. So here is what I've done the last week or so. 32 portraits and counting!

Tattoo

I was  so pleased to get the chance to sit in on a life painting class at Red Deer College. We were fortunate to get to paint a heavily tattooed model. It was a really fun challenge! I am happy with how it turned out. It was painted in about 3 hours.
