Just read: Cast Drawing Using the Sight-Size Approach

Just finished re-reading a Cast Drawing book by Darren Rousar. The author attended Atelier Lack, where I currently study. Great advice, easy read, and I saw a nice jump in my cast progress after reading.

Large gum drops

I love how these turned out--I'm actually bummed to let them go. The large gum drops were a commission and based on a much smaller painting. I worked through these with about five sessions of painting. It was a little more difficult than I had planned since the set-up was dependent on daylight and we now have a lot less of it here in Minnesota. Very happy with this painting!

Cupcake study--just for fun!

Delightful Tomatoes!

Time to Paint!

After several sessions in charcoal, next week, I'll transfer this drawing and start working on a painting portrait!
