Head Painting

I've really enjoyed my head-painitng class this semester. No surprise, you know how I feel about painting. Here are some of my favorite studies. Each was done from life, in under three hours.








You will not see the earliest attempts up here, but I think I've really improved. Though... I should probably paint some guys at some point.

Color!

For the past three days I've been at a color workshop with Bill Perkins, an art director from Disney. It was awesome. I love painting. I love painting so much. Because you get to play with color. And color is.. kind of miraculous. And Bill is quite insightful.

Anyways, at the workshop we painted a bunch of different model setup with different lighting conditions emphasizing different principles in color theory. We usually spent about thirty minutes to an hour and each pose, and we weren't supposed to focus so much on the drawing, just on color and value relationships.

Here are some of my studies from yesterday and today... The first day's batch didn't turn out so great...









I loved working with colored lights. I have some new ideas on how to design and execute a picture. I'm excited to try them out.

Real Paint!

Sometimes I paint from life.



3 hour head study. I accidentally toned my canvas with neon orange... but I kinda liked the effect, in the end.



And some Provo trees.
