Ranchito Milkyway Farmstand

It was a pleasure to paint with the good folks at Ranchito Milkyway Farmstand.  It was a nice intimate space in their farm and in the end we had farm to table organic food.   Instagram.com/sandiegopaintparty

Drawing Practice

Drawing people at the coffee shop for practice.  

Japan Practice

I couldn’t sleep on my first day in Japan so I stayed outside and did some painting.

Ink Practice

I made this ink practice of Irene, a model from France for practice before my trip to Japan.  I am expecting to draw and paint a lot in Japan since it will be my first time.  

Painting Pups

I taught my student how to paint their pup!  This one was a lot of fun because our subject was a very cute model.

Sculpture

I have been teaching my young artists how to do sculpture and I love seeing their creations come to life!  Look how cute this fox is.

Easy Does It

Pleinair in Pq

I did a little Plein-air painting to get ready for my Japan trip in Jan. It was a lovely day and two of my art friends joined me.

Practice

I always ask my students to practice and we share what we have been doing outside of class.  It’s important to cultivate good art habits not only in class, but in our everyday life.  I like drawing specimens once in awhile at the Nat.
