 quick still life from tues

  these last three snapshots are of Preferred Plants, my moms silk flower shop.

this weeks attempts.

the quick sketches of plein air range from 20 mins to 1 hr.  The indoor scene was about 3hrs, the male studies about 1hr each plus or take 20 more mins, and the portrait was 5hrs.   All super fun, alot of growth and practice necessary.

i was part of a show at Skatelab this weekend, this is one of the photos from the show, it is called 'together we are strong 3'.   Rad.  Check it out.   http://www.facebook.com/SkatelabSkatepark.

brush milage

these are the studies i did this week.  I seem to be going through a very long plateau of sucking which can only mean one thing, i need more brush milage.  This to me was an incredibly productive week, i need to do way better then that to improve.  I'm looking forward to it.

pre-cook

I love to cook.   This is me in mid project.

the following is a 5 minute watercolor done in Chris Hero's uninstructed workshop today in Helms Bakery in Culver City.  Thank you Chris for the opportunity to create art!

now, tiny still lives.

Done in Nicole Duets class at Animation Guild.  I'm beginning to develop a healthy habit of doing a value study before the color comp.  It's worth it.
