Did this self portrait, again from life, but with the knife...and a teeny bit of brush.
It's hard to shoot knife paintings 'cause of all the reflections..
The model was fidgety, too...

Self portrait sketch in oil
This is the first self portrait in oil I've done. Did it from life (with the help of a mirror) .
Pardon the bad photo, my camera's grainy (but the painting IS loose and sketchy - about 2-3 hrs.
Portrait light effect
without elaborating too much this is a study pushing the effect of the light through it's color. That part worked but as a painting...oh well...that's a different story
More cast but tighter finish
took a little longer on this one, wet on dry so I could work on rendering...
Some brush plein air...
I need to practice painting with a brush...not just a knife, this one is mostly brights
More bright sketches
Brights are fun but tricky 'cause the edge quality is harsh but it's all learning
