Thursday Gestures

The model David Roon posed as an adventurer and clown. To get the creative juices flowing we threw out the beatle challenge in which we had to come with something to do with the beatle using the model as a springboard. Enjoy.

liza, a llama and ringo

I started to draw a llama and these other two popped into my head.

California Wildfire in my backyard

It was pretty scary for a  few days. You could not step out the first night the valley was filled smell of smoke on the second day I was with my Insurance agent when cops were evacuating  the Stevens Ranch community across the freeway.  Planes and helicopters were  on that fire most of the morning. I went home and  started to think about what I’d need besides my birth certificate and passport. I thought about what would I grab if the call came in. I mean when it really comes down to it what would you take?

warm up

Youtube goodness.

Glamour Gals at the Castle Green

Top artist models in LA posed in a historic Victorian residence called The Castle Green in Pasadena last Fri. The place was home to the African American artist Charles White among other notables. My friend Anand with her pals also exhibited their girls drawing girls pictures that same night. Their second group show.Way to go Anand!

Shes Got Back

Straight up watercolors from Karl Gnass’s gesture class. He has a very simple

philosophy which goes something like this. Get the quick gesture first. Build the solid

masses around the gesture and then finally the details. He calls them the three stages. Simple.Yeah Right.1-3 mins.
