SKETCHES
After digging up old sketch books and news print pads, I came up with a small collection of pieces done in several different mediums. Trying to figure out when exactly these pieces were done is tough to say, but a majority of them were done before I attended duCret. Check back as this page continues to be updated. For completed paintings and drawings, please visit the Traditional page.
VERY EARLY WORKS: The group of soda cans below became an ongoing still life after my brother had held on to the first drawing, which I did at the dinner table at the age of 12. Five years later, I did the Coca Cola can in graphite and the Pepsi can in pen and ink. Another five years after that, I did a watercolor of the 7-Up can. These are all in my brother's "collection".
MCC YEARS: The next group of pieces were done in Life Drawing classes at Middlesex Community College. It is a mix of male and female models and still lifes, done in charcoal, graphite, and conte crayon on news print.
  
   
   
  
  
DUCRET AND AFTER: More recent pieces, containing unfinished works and rough drafts of finished pieces.
| Step by step - These images show the Mattingly Rookie Card piece in various stages from start to finish. Once the drawing is down, the basic colors are added, then to the flesh tones. After that, I tend to skip around to whatever is easiest to paint with the colors I have mixed at the time. In this case, the grays for the uniform, the lettering again, and then the close up at the bottom left of the piece. After some minor touch ups, the piece is done. |
