Just some of my many students at our annual Spring Art Show ranging from ages 7-17.

In February, a show was held at a local gallery showcasing my student's work. This work is from my awesome high school students focusing on the portrait study.

Recently, my son Logan (just accepted) and Tyler visited Cal Poly SLO. Danica Cardey, my former student, is presently a freshman majoring in Graphic Design at Cal Poly San Louis Obispo. A vigorous program, but Danica is talented and able to meet the demanding deadlines.

This is one of 12 pieces for a concentration study on Gods, myths and legends by one of my very talented students, Rachel Raviv. It is rendered in watercolor.

" Carina Reclining II"

Drawing from the live model is what I enjoy most. The alla prima study is exciting and also frustrating. This 15 minute pose was rendered on Newsprint paper with Ritmo charcoal pencil #2B.

"Facing "

These are two 5 minute studies of the same model also done at COC Drawing Lab. It was rendered on Newsprint paper with Ritmo charcoal pencil # 2B. I enjoy the short poses the most because it allows me to think quickly with my lines.
