Warren

This is a caricature that I posted on the ISCA forum for the first time! It was done in marker and pen, using a black grease pencil for shading. This is a big step for me and just the beginning!

Pastel Portrait


Me with finished Pastel portrait of Erin.

Erin

This is a Pencil study for a Pastel portrait commission I did several years ago. This was an early stage of the study for Erin's picture and I will be posting the finished portrait soon. At the time of this picture, I was primarily working on pastel portraits and improving my watercolor technique. All this has led into a study of caricature drawing, which is my current "passion" but I want to be able to share past, as well as present, work. Thank you for letting me share it with you and feedback is welcome.

muscle man doodle

This was done with one of my fingers using an Iphone App called
colors lite. It was kinda hard at first but then I started to get the feel
for it...it's fun!

Bree


I've been working on learning how to add color to a caricature, this is fun no pressure (in my studio) but I know if I want to improve I'll have to get my feet wet and do it live! now that's pressure!

Behind the Chutes


Tom Hill is one of my favorite watercolor artist, I like his style and technique. I'm following a demo from his book "Color for the watercolor painter" my colors or a little different but that's ok.

Two Brothers

This was a commissioned pastel portrait I did in 1988 when I lived in Baton Rouge, LA.  The challenge was composing it from two separate photographs of the brothers and it was at a time when I was doing more commissioned work.  I took this picture before the background was completed.  It was always satisfying to capture the personalities of the subjects in my portraits.
