Drapery Study, 2

2011, Graphite on Paper, 7"x 9.5"


More drapery. I tell my students that if they learn to draw drapery well,  they can then draw anything. This is usually met with much eye rolling, which they think I can't see.

Drapery Study, 1

2011, Graphite on Paper, 9.5"x 7"


While I am preparing for my Exhibit at Wilson College and getting ready for school to start (this is the second year of my Artist Residency at James Buchanan HS) I thought that I would post some drawings that I did last year while teaching drawing to my incredibly talented students.

Titan Falls

For those of you who are not burdened with being a painter, the title refers to the paint color which is Titanium White. The tricky part is how to make a colorful painting of white paint.

The Tree Line

#016


This is a scene that I passed twice a day for an entire school year. Of course when I actually decided to paint it, I had to make a special trip to photograph it (yes, sometimes I use photographs). Time management, not my specialty.
