This is a pencil drawing on cotton bristol board, drawn from life. It was done at the Grand Central Academy of Art in NY. I had (4) 4 hour sessions, and as you can see, it was not enough time to finish the drawing.
My daily paintings are all painted from life and are 5 x 7" (unless stated otherwise). My current technique is to lay out my palette from dark to light colors, using about 12 colors (similar to Richard Schmid). I used to use the Frank J. Reilly method (from the French Academic School – laying out strings of color values) see June 10 posting. I'm basically self-taught, except for a few months of training I had with specific artists.
Enjoy the art,
Dean
