Painting Class - May 4, 2011

The top painting is oil on toned canvas board (12"x16"). If you have been reading my blog for awhile you may recognize the image from a couple of years ago. The sketch I worked from can be found in this post. I did this the morning before the class and about 40 minutes into it I was very excited and happy with it. I proceeded to make a mess out of it but even so it was a successful study for me. I'll do this one again when I have more experience. It is definitely moving in the direction I want it to go.

The bricks, ahh - still in the brickyard but I am now using color on simple shapes. The effort here is to get the colors as I see them. This is oil on toned canvas board (11"x14").
