The Bet


This is a painting I did as the final project in a figure drawing class. it is acrylic on two joined 24" x 36"canvases to make it 48" wide by 36" tall. This was the first time I had worked in acrylic after two classes in oils and I struggled with the drying times and the tactile differences of the brush on canvas. The project was to be a self portrait and I used myself for all three figures.

Sketches for posting

I began sketching when it was required for art classes I've taken at local colleges. Somehow it has become a way of life and I carry at the minimum a sketch book and pen with me all the time. Recently, I found a whole world online of people who live this same way of life. Since I have enjoyed and learned from their work I've decided to share some of my own work in hopes that it will also be enjoyed.
