Painting- Subject Matter


After hanging a few different ways, this is what I decided my final show should be.




Painting- Subject Matter- Glassine Paintings

After seeing Eric Fischl's glassine paintings I wanted to try something similar in placing separate images together to create a new composition/scene. I had no idea what the final composition would be, I just painting random objects and different people and would decide on the final image later.

I did many quick gestural drawings to get used to the human figure


3-5 minute blind drawings


 8 minute gestural drawings done in ink



 8 minute gestural paintings


 3-5 minute gestural sketches



 3-5 minutes gestural sketches


Painting- Subject Matter

For the subject matter project I originally wanted to do something with landscapes.



10-15 minute charcoal sketches done while looking out the windows of my house




5 minute ink sketches done outside in my garden




5 minute acrylic paint sketches done while sitting outside college








But I decided to switch to doing the figure because I was really enjoying the weekly life painting sessions.
