Painting Weekend

Had a blast in Malibu this weekend - took a painting workshop with Katie Kendrick - learned a bunch of new tricks and tools and can't wait to try them out again.  These are all quick sketches and a few started out with left hand scrawls!  The traveling lady was the end product of Day 1 using lots of different techniques - the best was just using intuition and going with it to tell a story - i love love love this idea - no pressure and absolutely no attachment to the outcome - on any of these pieces - just playtime!

value study and also a lesson in mixing flesh color - about 7 different paints 

this is what i want to do more of - i like the mystery and "outsiderness" of this one

this lady was another quick study in value - she is shades of purple - not that you can tell from this photo - but maybe that is the whole idea ;)

the colors in this are so much better in person - i really need to figure out the best lighting in the house for photo taking
tons of different techniques in this
