A 4-hour pose from my Drawing 3 class / Spring 2013 / charcoal 

Thought this was a nice detail from one of my in-class still life paintings from the Spring 2013 semester 

My sight-size cast drawing from three semesters ago / I actually really enjoyed doing this piece which was a semester long drawing in nitram charcoal 

This was a fun 1 day pose in Figure Painting 1 last semester  / we used a pink film gel to light the figure 

Here is a decent photo of my 4-week in class long pose / I enjoyed drawing this one and roughing up the paper, seeing how far it could go / you can also see some of the cross-hatching with the ball point pen in this one too. 

Here is a decent photograph of my Drawing 3 final / based on a Matthew Stone photograph / you can see some of the detail with the ball point pen and charcoal / this one is fairly large scale 

Here is a decent photo of the contemporary space painting finished.  16” x 20” / oil on canvas

All I hope for as an artist is for my work to resonate with even one person. These pieces range from old to new and everything in-between. All images are mine unless noted otherwise. I am currently a student at Laguna College of Art + Design, majoring in Drawing and Painting with a minor in Sculpture.
