Paintings From Photo

Every artist, to further their skills and technique, should learn to paint, “in real time” with live models.

Here are two recent portraits I’ve completed in a studio setting at Artspace, located in downtown Raleigh, NC.

Here you can see the model. Though mine wasn’t the best painting in the class, it was the best likeness in the class. I like faces.

And this is the best shot I got with the model. It was a fun pose. Yay cowboys!  Sadly this is as far as I got to develop it because time ran out. It’s amazing how fast a seven hour class can go by when you’re concentrating!
