A few more digital pieces

More digital paintings....so much fun!

 

Digital Art?

I recently started a Zoom online art class at NYAA with Steve Forster using Artstudio and my IPad.  My goal is to create digital portraits that rival those painted with traditional media.  The teacher is an amazing artist and works in many different media.  Having no skills in Photoshop, I find the digital work really challenging but I LOVE the fact that it is totally portable and there is NO CLEANUP!!!!  I will always return to my pastels and oils but this will be great when we get to travel again!

 

Beach Paintings

 

Beach paintings are so relaxing.  I have so many photos as references taken in the 6 years we have lived here.  The beach is ever changing, always inspiring and a worthy challenge!

More Sister Drawings

Drew more conte drawings and one pastel of three other sisters.  It was especially poignant in that one sister died unexpectedly during these weeks of social distancing.  

I am ready to move on to other things.....

Model Group still SD so drawing from photos...

 Just using charcoal or conte drawing from photo refs...good for skill maintenance....?

Drawing my Mother

Drew this conte drawing on 11 X 14 with just 4 colors.  Mama will be 96 this August and I look forward to seeing her again when the Assisted Living place sets her free...:-(

Painting My Big Children

 During these times of "sheltering in place" hubby suggesting I paint the children. I came up with this fantasy of my two and their spouses at a meal together.  I hope it will happen one day.  I prefer working from life but lots of ref photos in the studio can work. These are 2 16 x 20 oil on canvas...

Looks like I need a new project as Corona continues......
