Watty

Where do I begin? I guess the story has already been told, that this was not a model from the Model's Guild. This is a 24 x 18" acrylic. I am frustrated with the photo and the colors it shows, probably because it was already 5 pm when I took the pic. What you see here is my attempt to fix it with photoshop so it resembles the original more closely.

The Graffiti Artist

Drew is a great model.  He is different from the usual pretty face with his strong features and wiggy hair.  He kept a difficult pose, looking upward, which I'm sure was hard on his eyes.

Carla at the Firehouse

Woman with Flowers  acrylic, 24 by 30

We had Carla model for two session at the Firehouse. No matter how many times I paint her there is always something new to try with her.

Looner as Jesus

Yesterday I went to the evening session specifically to paint Looner, whose intriguing features and hair promised an interesting experience. About twenty minutes into this portrait the model started to look like Jesus, so I went with it. The irregular halo needs work, but overall I'm happy to have had a chance to paint the savior. This is in acrylics on paper and the scale is a little larger than life.

Waddi

Waddi was out stolling one evening when he saw us setting up our easels to paint.  Did we need a model? he asked.  As it happened, the model we were expeccting was a no-show and Waddi saved the day.

The Accidental Male Model

It happened one evening we did not have a model. A gentleman walked into the shop and offered to sit for us. What a happy fit!  He did a good job! This is a painting of him. I did it with acrylic on a 18"x24" canvas.
