Dean Adams Daily Paintings

Elizabeth: 18 x 24"

2007-11-04T13:56:00.001-08:00

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.

Red, White and My Blue WRX: 9 x 7"

2007-11-03T00:28:00.000-07:00

This is Pier Village in Monmouth, NJ. That's my blue WRX parked in front of Stewarts and the Chocolate Factory (don't know who's Ford Taurus that is, but I needed white). I painted this in pouring rain, hiding under the gazebo directly in front of these stores.

On another note, some of my larger still-life paintings are at the Frederick Galleries, in their Allenhurst and Spring Lake galleries and can be purchased directly thru them.

Stay tuned for some portraits and figures painted/drawn directly from life...

Updates

2007-08-05T19:05:00.000-07:00

Hello,

Just a few updates here. I changed the email settings so that if you reply to this email, it is ONLY sent to me, not the whole group (I just figured out how to change that setting). I took 2nd place in the Allenhurst paint out. I will be doing another paint-out at Bayonet Farms in Holmdel, sometime in September. I'll post the exact date when I find out.

Take care,

Dean

Here is the palette that I used to paint the grapes and orange rose painting below. After determining the colors needed, I create rows of color which is the original color mixed with white. I like to get 9 values (1 is darkest and 9 is lightest). This is based on Frank J. Reilly's techniques, an artist who's lineage dates back to the French Academic School (ex: William Bouguereau).

This a commission I just completed of Gabby and Adam. It is 18 x 14" in charcoal.
