Week Three Progress

Here are a few photos of my latest WIP after 8.5 hours with the model. After blocking the figure I spent the last 5 or 10 minutes of the session starting to map in the face and hair. The next stage will be to finish the secondary forms and start with the tertiary level of detail. There are a lot of compound curves in this one which is always  fun!

A New Sculpture to Start the New Year

Here's a  23" tall sculpture that I started this evening. The image represents about 2.5 hours of progress.

Drawing Jam '13

The Gage Academy held their annual open house and "Drawing Jam" this weekend. For those who haven't been, it's 12 hours of fun for the entire family. There are models, activities and live music in all of the studios, food, cocktails and even free art supplies!

This small clay sketch took an hour to complete under  comically distracting circumstances. After 10 minutes of work, a musical ensemble entered the (small) room with  a drum set, microphone etc. Their entourage squeezed between me and the wall; looming over my shoulder as I worked. Luckily, I had earplugs.

Almost Done

Christopher is almost finished. We have only one or two more sessions left.

New Work in Progress

Here's a new piece I just started. These photos were taken after two sessions with the model.
