Wow that week went fast. Rebecca and everyone else involved have put together an amazing program. The tough part now is putting into practice the volumes of information they gave us.
Here's my workspace juuust before getting started painting. The dragon-hotrod on the left belongs to Derek Ring and that tiny hint of shoulder on the right is Drew Baker. As soon as my painting is dry it'll get shipped back from Massachusetts and I can finish it up. I'll post it shortly there after.
Every once and a while Ron Spears hosts a figure painting afternoon at his house. What a nice guy. This is my painting from one such session a couple weeks ago.
I made this a little while ago for 5finity’s VOLTRON: United and Drawn art book. It was a lot of fun. The only guideline was that the image had to be somehow related to Voltron. I got my copies in the mail a couple weeks ago and I’ve got to say that they did a very nice job putting the book together.
My Art Challuunge from last week. It was a lot of fun but now that I’m looking at it again I’m starting to wonder how much my recent viewing of Tangled snuck its way in. Hmmmmmmm…
The Nevada Museum of Art has a great selection of classes and open studio sessions. We just finished a four week open studio focusing on the costumed figure. The models were great and all had a wealth of knowledge regarding the time periods and characters they were dressed as. I’m trying to get my traditional media legs back so I made an oil sketch each session. The first one was embarrassing enough to get turned upside-down and reused the second week (WWII German Medic). Each panel is 16” x 20” and was made in just under 3 hours.http://blog.andrewjohanson.com/images/Costume1.4.jpg
