My Final Cast Drawing

"Discobolus"

It was actually finished a few months ago, but this is the final cast drawing I did at the Grand Central Academy before moving onto painting. It's about 26x 19 inches and graphite on paper. Click for a larger view.

Finished Figure Drawing

Here's my drawing from the month of April.

We had a really fantastic model, Eniss, every weekday morning for the month.

I toned my own paper with watercolour and the did the drawing with graphite and white chalk.

4 Hour Portrait Drawings

Every Monday afternoon at the Grand Central Academy

we have a different portrait model for a 4 hour session.

Here are a few of the recent drawings I've done in those sessions.

They are all about 8 x 10 inches.

New Figure Drawings from the Grand Central Academy

"Samir"

                                                                 "Standing Male Figure"
                  These are both month-long drawings (80 hours each) done in graphite on paper.

Creation of Adam

This is a large copy (72x38 inches) that I painted of one half of Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" in the Sistine Chapel ceiling in Rome. It was commisioned by a client in Australia.

"Stegosaurus"

Here's a painting I did a few years ago of a toy stegosaurus. Like a lot of kids growing up, dinosaurs used to fascinate me and I thought it would be fun to revisit the subject.

Some Cast Drawings and a Painting

 

Here is the most recent cast drawing I did in my first year at the Grand Central Academy of Art in New York. I have one more cast drawing to do before I move onto painting when I return in September.

I did this drawing from a cast of a Donatello sculpture while I was on my summer break in Cairns, Australia.  

I painted this study of a tree in Cairns. It was the view outside my bedroom window

Still Life with Brazillian Fabric

 

Oil on Linen, 26 x 26 inches

Here is a Still Life painting, recently sold, that I'd been working on for a while. It was my attempt at using a cooler palette than I normally would and it served to satisfy my interest in employing a combination of pattern and three- dimensional form.
