30 minute Color Sketch

 


From a live costume model (very competent) at the Monday night sketching evening at Canvas Art Bar on NW 18th and Upshur.  More of other artists work can be seen on the Behind The Scenes Blog.


Happy Hour Waiting for our model to set up

  1. I so love this portrait, Carrie. You've captured that curly hair beautifully...There is a sense of wildness and gypsy in this piece that just sets a wonderful mood. Not often found in a portrait, I don't think!

  2. Hi Carrie ... I just love all your work ... it is really free ... looks so easy like you don´t plan for the end result which makes it intriguing ... I love your recent sketches they have an extra energy tht shows in every stroke of brush or pencil ... keep up the good work

  4. Hi Carrie,

    I can't keep up! Your painting is so fresh and light. I guess wine helps! :-) Would love to join you all when I get down there ...

    Happy painting!

  7. I keep stopping by this picture - I love the "drawing brushstrokes" of this. I'm trying to use this technique on a watercolor of mine this weekend.
