Here I have painted a portrait of my sister in oil. I had never used oil before, and I have to admit i was a little intimidated at first, but I found that I really enjoy oil's bright color and amamzing blendability. I based this painting off a photograph I made of my sister laying under the reflection of a rainbow in my parents bedroom. I really loved the colors in the photo, their bight nature and the way they flow across her face and I set out the capture that in my painting. I feel that a captured the deep pigment of the colors and their striking contrast to one another.

These were done from real live in class models. I enjoyed this practice.

These are drawn from short 30-60 second poses, aiming to get the essence of the gesture and figure.

The drawing to the left was done before any other figure practice and the drawing to the right was done after talking a bit about proportions and the figure (self portrait). Most of my proportions were originally pretty good, though I did make the eyes too large and too close to each-other. Upon my second viewing of this sketch I tired to shrink the eyes at least slightly and I also tweaked the shape of the face. There was not a whole lot I could do about the eyes without starting over and erasing them completely so instead I focused on the jaw line, hair line, shading of the hair and face.

These drawings were meant to practice the 3/4 and profile views of the human face, while also keeping in mind proportions. You can see the many lines I used for measuring proportions and looking at angles.

These practice drawings were done in oil pastel, three colors, a shadow, highlight and mid range color.

These close up drawings of the nose and mouth there meant for specific practice of these two areas of the face. I feel as though I progresses through my practice. ( I did the pinks toned drawings first, yellow and purple second)
