This was painted from a picture of my friend’s daughter.
I love the expression the she had as the picture was taken.
That was my inspiration for painting this one.

My nephew
This is my nephew Taylor. I painted him using the “Zorn Palette”, which is a very limited palette.
It consist of white, black, yellow ochre, and cad. red.
It took me about three hours and was done from a photograph.

Limited palette study
I did this seascape using a limited palette. It’s called the “Zorn Palette” after Anders Zorn.
“Reserved”
It’s 18″ x 14″ oil on canvas.
New study
This is a new sketch that I recently started. I’m going to try to take pictures of each session.
This is the second session. I’ve added a little color to the face and started to block in the blouse.
A different technique
On this porrait I used a different approach. I used the verdaccio method.
I started by doing an underpainting using flake white, ivory black and chromium oxide.
Followed by transparent glazes. The result is a more realistic finish.
Portrait from life
Here is an alla prima portrait sketch that I did in December of 09.
I spent about two and a half hours on this one. It was a great learning experience.
Actually, every painting I complete is a learning experience for me.
And I enjoy every moment.

I have to admit the it’s much harder that from a picture.
It moves! Imagine that. I have some more that I’m working on
