I got me a mannequin! She’s fantastic. My grandma, who used to be a costume designer for the theatre, provided me with some wigs, and I can dress her up in my own clothes. The mannequin, not my grandma. I tested the the size and distance to work with from my easel. And I’ve found…
So here are some of the drawings done on my iPad with my finger. There are several drawing apps available, with endless possibilities, but like I said in my previous post, I’ve used a simple game app called Draw Something for these pictures. Here are some people I drew. As you may be able to…
Hi there! I’ve decided to publish some recent — March/April 2017 — pictures. They’re all sketches, meaning I didn’t spend much time on them, but in actuality, when I’m not physically painting, I’m leading up to a painting in my head.

Hope you…
I’ve updated a few of the links above, added some new gesture drawings and scribbled ideas and removed a few of the older drawings so as not to overcrowd your vision. Yesterday I watched an old tv show and was doodling, and occasionally hit the pause button to draw. This is what happened… Any guesses? …..…
Yesterday I did a series of quick drawings (30″ and 1′ gestures) of myself from photographs I took last summer. You can view them by clicking on the link Self portrait gestures in the menu above.
