The majority of my acrylic and oil paintings are painted on canvas or w/c paper. I usually start with a warm or neutral abstract under painting, and then begin to build and layer colors to achieve the desired effect. Look out for some step by step process paintings in my Blog. You will find some of my available paintings in my Shop page, along with my finished paintings, there will be some more affordable smaller studies and sketches for purchase.

In general my Pastels are painted on either UArt Dark or Sennelier La Carte. I build up my pastels to create a vibrant and impressionistic look. My subject matter are usually subjects that visually excite me, whether the human figure, a seascape or a urban city scape.

Drawing from life is really key to become better drawers for illustrators, animators and painters. To me it’s a basic fundamental that often gets over looked by some people. It’s like not knowing the words of a song before you sing. When life drawing I prefer starting with 1,2 and 5 min poses for quick gestural poses and then working up to 10,15,20 and 30 min poses. If I am drawing or painting for more polished work however, its nice to have longer poses, a 1 hour or even the academic traditional long sessions like a 3-6 hr pose.
