Sketching "Girl" by Bob Trotman @ncartmuseum with

Sketching "Girl" by Bob Trotman @ncartmuseum with friends after accepting the @un.framed challenge for this week. I'm not a figure painting or drawer or sketcher so It was a fantastic challenge. As you see I didn't choose to sketch the whole figure, just the sections that caught my eye (and of course avoiding to draw the whole figure 😂). I started with what for me felt the most simple (legs) and then moved to something a little more complex. But to make this complexity easier in my head I said.. "i'll draw just the shapes inside this "negative shape' and will go from there. The hand didn't land where it was suppose to land, but...it is pencil! I erased it and moved it to the right (or closer to right) place. What I learned? After you pass that first fear of "oh my this is hard, it is upside down how I'm going to do this?" and start sketching...it is RELAXING and you see on that piece a lot more than you would normally do if you were just walking by.

Hi! i'm So HAPPY to be back posting after some qui

Hi! i'm So HAPPY to be back posting after some quiet days on IG (not quiet for me in real life!). One of the great things I did this week was offering a private painting lesson to @wpearson56 . This was the second one and we decided to go through the whole process of doing a painting together from beggining to ...almost end. We each finished our painting on our own after the lesson ended. Will brought a beautiful photo he took of a white flower for us to paint, and we went from there. We spent most of the time mixing all the different whites on that flower and applying confident brushstrokes without getting into details! Wonderful student!! His flower is gorgeous 🎉. Go and take a look at his @wpearson56 .These were two hours incredibly well spent! Can't wait for the next lesson!

One petal, one brushstroke...there are some flowers that allow us to do that... although it is also fun to group 10 petals in one brushstroke!

Moving shadows, 12x12 inches, acrylics on cradled

Moving shadows, 12x12 inches, acrylics on cradled wood panel. While waiting for the buckets of red paint I ordered to cover the 36x36 painting challenge I have ahead of me I decided to continue with these series I'm enjoying SO MUCH! I'm making bigger the little ones I painted plein air at the beginning of the #summer at Historic Oak View Park. I love lines, simple structures, playing with composition and blocks of color...that's all what these old houses are (isn't that what love at first sight is 😂?)

Shifting gears for a bit. Definetly larger and add

Shifting gears for a bit. Definetly larger and adding buildings and their lights and wonderful shadows. I enjoyed so much painting the 6x6" plein air version of it at the Historic Oak View County Park in #raleighnc that I had to do it again, now in my studio and with more surface to cover 😊 . Second photo...I don't usually paint dressed like that😂. I'm missing my apron and white shirt/jeans painting uniform.
