It's been about 4 months since my last posting--lazy summer--so I will just jump in now and post a couple of pieces I did within the last week or so, and later dig out the paintings I've done since March and post them here.
This first one is a portrait of Anthony Smith, who modeled for us at the Saturday portrait drawing sessions at the Sebastian River Art Club. Melbourne artist Brett Pigon helped some of the artists with their portraiture which was mostly in charcoal or pencil. Mine was in pastel pencils, a very portable and somewhat forgiving medium, which colors blend beautifully together or separately. He needs a bit more tweaking on the hair, more color on the face, and he will eventually be dressed in ethnic costume.
