the scratching curve

18"x12", pen n ink


10"x6"", control of compliments, i'll be adding more color to this but  i wanted to start off with a simple strong statement and work my way yonder.

study i did at the beach.  i kinda dig this like... what? 2 minute study? minus the color mixing. She had beautiful color, i wish this girl didn't keep looking at me like i was all creepy so i could just paint her.

le semaine

 12"x16"study.  Palette knife gallore.

12"x16" study, i experimented with this one by going full saturation everywhere.  It was awful. I got home and toned it down a little bit and this was the product.  I then scraped it. Interesting experiment.

5"x7", study at the beach over the weekend. A little girl and her family liked it alot so i signed it to the little girl.  It was awesome.  She was so rad.

12"x6".... i had a lot of trouble shooting this image.  I'll probably retake the photo at some point so that the contrast and color are more accurate.

Class with V.Zanginian 10"x6"

2 color comps for a larger piece i'm planning.  I'm going to do three more so i don't run into the usual indecision when i paint the final product.  These are great because i'm also altering the composition and the lines i want to make, along with finding out how i want to play with the saturation, value,  color and temperature.  small panel about 8"wide.

Update on the sculpt.

Now time for quality vs. quantity ay?
