I’ve been oil painting since March 8, 2006, which doesn’t seem like enough experience to be teaching. However, several of my drawing students have asked me to conduct an oil painting workshop. I began doing this a few years ago, but only for my advanced students. The participants need to understand proportion, perspective, values and my manner […]

Cats!
For someone who does not consider herself a kitty-puppy artist, I seem to be over-run by pencil drawing commissions of cats and dogs. That’s okay. I love to draw in pencil. First, the sketch. The customer chose C. Second, begin the real drawing. Third, keep drawing. When I told a friend about this drawing, I […]
Dogs!
I have no intention of becoming a kitty–puppy artist. However, when I receive commissions to draw cats or dogs, if the photos are decent and I have the time, I usually say yes to those jobs. This one began with sketches, as most commissioned pencil drawings do. Not quite it. More sketches requested. Mr. Customer […]

More Kaweah Post Office Oil Paintings

A third painting was created as an incentive for a generous man to […]
