Bay Art Portrait Painting

Oil Painting

Lashanna Lawler posed 3 hours for this portrait at Bay Arts. I completed it in 4 hours. I only wish I had a larger canvas to capture her wonderful magenta dress.

It was a rare treat that I was able to paint along with other artists at Bay Arts - thanks to the holidays. Michelle did a great job sitting for us for a three hour session.

I Forgot My Supplies!

Charcoal, 1 hour 45 minute pose

Pencil, 30 minute pose

I arrived at the Literary Cafe only to realize I forgot my supplies. Duh! I borrowed a 4B charcoal pencil, vine charcoal, a dark graphite pencil, a kneaded eraser and a couple sheets of medium tooth, 

Strathmore paper. When it comes right down to it, I can make by with only a few supplies!
