Here are a couple drawings and a painting done near the end of 2008.
charcoal sketch, 17x14 This is a quicker sketch done of my best friend Emily, who also happens to be an amazing artist. I tried using vine charcoal on bristol but I cannot say that I liked how the charcoal felt on the bristol, plus it wouldn't really erase...
"Reflection" graphite on paper,20x16
"Pensive" oil, 18x14 This is one of my first attempts at oil painting using the same lovely model. It's such a fun, yet incredibly frustrating medium, but I am really enjoying the learning process (even if it feels like learning how to draw all over again..........).
