Open Studio Figure Drawing

Last night I was able to attend an Open Studio Figure Class at DuCret School of Art in Plainfield, NJ. The live model started with some short poses and then a couple long poses. I decided to use prismacolor pencils and graphite pencils.

Evolution of a Painting I

I've been working on this 30"x40" acrylic painting for the past 3 years. My progress hasn't been constant because I've taken breaks for weeks at a time, but I just recently worked on it again to show at the Summit Fine Art Festival. However, I still consider it a work in progress and I plan on continuing to paint until it feels complete. I'll be posting updates as this painting evolves into a finished piece. (please excuse the low quality photos)

The Wall Update II

Here's an update from the mural collaboration I've been working on with my sister. I've been working in acrylic paints while my sister has been using ink, acrylic, and watercolor paints.

Summit Fine Art Festival

This past sunday, June 23rd, I had the opportunity of showing and selling my artwork at the Summit Fine Arts Festival. Even though the heat was almost unbearable, many people came to the festival. It was overall a great experience to learn from and network with new possible clients. Below are some pictures from the event and the artwork that I exhibited. 

 I was doing five minute portraits for five dollars.

I was also inviting people to look through one of my small sketchbooks. However I wont be posting any pictures from it because there are far too many. You'll just have to come to my next festival or event to see if I'm exhibiting it again :)

Upcoming Event

This sunday, June 23rd, I will be painting and exhibiting/selling some artwork at the Summit Fine Art Festival from 10am to 5pm. Come out and support me and other artists! For more information go to http://www.summitdowntown.org/events/events/festival-of-fine-arts-craft/

Shakespeare Garden

Today I had the pleasure of attending an event, planned by the Plainfield Garden Club, to celebrate the Shakespeare Garden in Cedar Brook Park, Plainfield, NJ. They invited artists to come out, paint, and sell their artwork. So I did just that :) Below are a few pictures from the event.

Both colored drawings are done in prismacolor pencils and the other sketch is done in pen.

 This is the painting I worked on at the event in oil color.
