METRIK

Old photo of Stephen Assael giving us a demo from when I was in New York. I learned so much in such a short time from him. #stephenassael #nyaa #nyc #art #painting #paint #demo

A good start to valentines, and we both don’t have classes on Friday. Activated charcoal soap and a cast iron tea pot for my princess. Got the tea pot to go with the moon cups she got me last year! #Tea #soap #teapot #valentines #valentinesday

Trapped inside so I couldn’t make it to the studio. So I did this Michelangelo study to keep busy instead of painting. #michelangelo #libyansibyl #Sistine #sistinechapel #drapery #figurative #classical #drawing #drawn #masterstudy #master #academy #art #artoninstagram #instahot #instagood #picoftheday #potd

“A Brief but Magnificent Opportunity”
Graphite and white pastel on rives bfk. The second in a small series of memento mori pieces. This was supposed to be a study for a painting but I enjoyed it enough as a drawing to keep it as one. #mementomori #realism #drawing #drawn #sketch #Flemish #stilllife #pencil #fruit #time #drapery #skull #candle #rose #grapes #life #death #lifedrawing #fabricofspacetime

Process of a simple memento mori still life to get myself comfortable with oils and work on technique. #mementomori #oil #oilpaunting #stilllife #allaprima #realism #lifepainting #life #skull #death #drapery #painting #classical #metrik

Sneak peak of a painting I’ve started this weekend. Turns out I still know how to use oils. #oilpainting #oil #lifepainting #life #realism #mementomori #allaprima #paint #painting #skull

Still life to get me back to drawing from life. I always seem to get sidetracked. #add #stilllife #life #bigbusiness #drawing #industry #sketch
