I have forgotten to share what I've been making during this years classes! This is from one of the Intro to Portrait Drawing (w Value) sessions, we used a subtractive method with vine charcoal and erasers on toned paper.

Classes are at Alia's Fine Art Studio in Raleigh.

Figure line drawing, with cat for scale! This is from an Intro to Figure Drawing with Line class last year; we were learning about foreshortening specifically for this pose.

A charcoal figure study, and an open grisaille oil painting of the same model/pose; both from the Intro to Figure Painting class I took last year.

I've been in a small motivation rut for a while now, so I figured I'd share some of my works from the last few years until I get my groove back. Here is a time lapse video of an oil painting I did at a workshop earlier this summer.
