Master Copy
Here's my attempt at replicating Sorolla's 'Boy with Ball' for Jason Bowen's figure painting course. More of an interpretation than a copy, really. In true beginner fashion I used two photo references that looked nothing like one another and wound up with a painting that looks a lot different than the original. Nice! I've found that when working with oil I spend at least two thirds of my time correcting mistakes in color and paint application. As much as I struggle with oil, I think that its a wonderful medium and I'm looking forward to the next project.

Here's an assignment I did for my intermediate anatomy class. Not entirely happy with the face or the left foot, will put more work into it. I think that the drawing measures just about 40" X 30". I have a roll of 40" Strathmore drawing paper and a huge masonite board which I tape the paper to. The physical aspect of working with charcoal on this scale is a lot of fun, it becomes almost like a contact sport.

My First Post
Here's an arm study I did for James Xavier Barbour's Intermediate Figure Drawing class. Good assignment, great instructor.
