Tree study

2012-03-07T00:19:00.000-08:00

Here is a tree study from this afternoon. I love drawing trees at this time of year, their skeletons are so very beautiful and the light plays around their form in such a lovely way!

Hanging Onions Painting

2011-12-12T22:56:00.000-08:00

Here are some photos of what's on my easel at the moment. I was inspired, in part, to do this painting by an email I received a little while ago from someone in Mexico who teaches at an agriculture university. She had put together a not-for-profit book about the "Pitahayas" or Dragon Fruit. I was surprised to find she had used my painting "Flying Dragon Fruit" both in the book and as the back cover without asking me.... It was nice that she emailed me to find out where she could send me a copy of the book but still somewhat funny that she wouldn't check before using my painting in her book.

I painted "Flying Dragon Fruit" in 2003. It was in a gallery in Vancouver for a while. The gallery was one of the best in Vancouver and had been in business for 20+ years. Unfortunately things started to go bad for the owner and he ran off with a number of artists’ work or did not pay them for work sold. Twenty plus artists sued him but as far as I know, not one managed to collect any money from him. I lost my dragon fruit painting and another small still life. So now my dragon fruit painting has been stolen both in real life as well as in digital form for a book.

You're probably wondering how this relates to my hanging onion painting? After seeing my dragon fruit painting in the book it made me want to do another painting with a similar setup and so I painted this onion painting!

Here is an image of the dragon fruit painting. If you know where this painting is, please let me know!

New drawing

2011-12-05T23:42:00.000-08:00

Here is a recent study. I did this study in a 2 hour live sitting, then I worked on the drawing for a few hours afterward, refining some of the shading and other things.

When I'm thinking about trying to use someone in a painting, I often do a few drawings of them to start to get an idea of how they look. When I'm drawing someone it gives me a chance to really look and examine their face and get to know it in a different way then when I'm just talking and seeing them in normal life. One of the things I love about drawing and all art is a quest for a simple truth. The truth of the shape of someone's nose, how all a person's features relate to each other in a very beautiful way, a pattern all their own.

After doing some study drawings of someone I may come up with a composition in which I can paint them or I may just let the knowledge of their face sit at the back of my mind and I may come up with a composition in a year or more.

Portrait painting demo

2011-10-30T23:20:00.000-07:00

Here are a few photos of the portrait painting I'm doing as a demo for my current oil portrait painting class. I start each class demoing for around 30 minutes, talking about different things and showing things as I paint. I think it's so important to demonstrate things when teaching art. I think it's good for my students to see me work my way through a painting, see how I deal with different things that come up, small changes in the drawing,modeling form, etc. Then the students start to work on their paintings. I come and help them as needed and work on my painting in between. I try my best to give each student directions and ideas to help them get better with their drawing/painting.

Session One. We started painting with no drawing, getting the big shapes, values down in paint.

Session Two. Started to work with a full palette of colors. I try to go over things with the general or local colors in this layer of paint but I do not try to finish anything here.

Session Three. Now I start to finish things as I go over them. I start by once again going over the area that I'm working on with a general color working dark to light. Then I start to model the light as it plays across the form. Working over wet paint makes it easier to model subtle transitions.

I managed to paint the third paint layer over the part that is inside the blue line. In the next class I'll work on his forehead, neck and shadow of his face.

Landscape studies!

2011-10-16T01:23:00.000-07:00

Here are a few plein air landscape studies. I'm finding myself doing more landscape painting these days. I'm also very grateful for the time that I was a part of the Hudson River Fellowship. I'm finding the things I learned there are still working their way into my thoughts and process in my landscape painting. I hope to start to do some larger landscape paintings from my studies in the future.

Here are a few photos from my recent 1 1/2 hour oil portrait painting demo I did to promote my art classes at the art store, Opus.

It's always fun to challenge myself to go out and paint a decent demo in a situation where the lighting and setup are somewhat uncontrolled. Trying to set a pose that reads clearly with the uncontrolled light and I explain everything that I'm doing while I'm painting is fun and challenging. Keeps me on my toes ;)

More landscape paintings!

2011-07-28T00:14:00.000-07:00

Here are two recent landscape paintings. The first is from Mt. Doug, a local park around a small mountain. It's around 5 minutes by car from my studio, so it's a good place to go painting! I also enjoy running the trails at Mt. Doug lots of good hills to run ;).

Mt. Doug Tree Study, Oil on panel 9x12

It's so much fun to be out painting the landscape live. It's both an exercise in slowing down and working slowly to develop your painting at the same time trying to paint as fast as you can before the light changes! Or the bugs get you...:). For this study, when I started the painting it was an overcast afternoon and I was in the trees enough that I thought that if the sun came out it would not change things too much. I was wrong. About midway through the painting (1 1/2 hours in) the sun came out and was penetrating through the tree coverage enough to change the lighting a little for me. I had to then decide what to do. I decided that when the sun was very bright I would wait a few minutes until the clouds would dull it down a little and then I would paint and wait and paint and wait. I'm happy with the way it turned out.

The second painting was painted later that evening at Swan Lake. I love painting the sunset, the colours and lighting are very beautiful to me.

Swan Lake Sunset, Oil on canvas panel 8x10

When I'm painting the sunset, I try to setup around an hour or so before sunset and tone my panel with some umber and ultramarine blue or some of the muddy colour that was left on my palette from earlier in the day. I use some mineral spirits and rub the colour on with a paper towel. The point of this is to dull the white of the canvas so it's easier to judge values and hue as you start to paint. After toning my canvas, I do a line drawing of the major shapes with oil and then wait for the sun to go down.

In this case, when there were no clouds to block the sun and shield it from my eyes, I had to wait until the sun was almost at the horizon before really starting to paint! I was able to put some of the sky colour down before this but not too much. So as the sun set, I madly started to paint! I try to burn the image in my mind as the sun disappears over the horizon. I try to balance the big picture of value and colour on my painting in a mad dash to the finish. I will at times make a few adjustment when I bring the painting back to my studio after the sun has set. The colours and image are still in my head enough to use it to unify the painting as a readable work of art!

For those of you interested, I'm teaching a week long landscape painting workshop on Quadra Island, BC, Canada. Sept 12-16th more info here.

Studies

2011-07-19T20:32:00.000-07:00

Here are a of couple studies. I was teaching a workshop up-island and on my way back to Victoria I stopped off in Maple Bay to visiting my friends and fellow Hudson River Fellows, Kate Stone and David Gluck (check out their blog in my blogs list). We headed out to do some landscape studies. The Maple Bay and Duncan areas are beautiful, lots of great things to paint!

Here is a small hand study I did the other day. I enjoy working on a bluish paper for these kind of drawings. This one is on Canson Sky Blue. I used to love using Fabriano Ingres papers but unfortunately they are no longer being made. This seems to be the way things work the good stuff gets discontinued :(

Some plein air paintings

2011-06-06T22:50:00.000-07:00

Here are two recent plein air paintings and a small still life study. The weather here in Victoria is finally starting to get warm making painting outdoors much more appealing. :) The only problem with the warmer weather is that the lovely cold weather evening skies are now gone.

What's on my easel at the moment

2011-05-21T23:14:00.000-07:00

Here are some photos and thoughts about one of the paintings I'm working on right now.
I've had the idea to do a painting with this composition for a few years but haven't been able to pull the trigger on it until now. Sometime I seem to work this way, where I have an idea for a composition and feeling for a painting but I may not have the right person to model for it or I may just need to sit on the feeling for a while before I paint it.

Here is a very rough compositional sketch from my mind.

Here is my study drawing from the model.

After my drawing I was not sure I was happy with the composition and feel so I photographed my drawing and played around with it in photoshop.
I printed out a small 8x11 image of the drawing and then painted on top of it to try things. I also photographed the painting study and played with it in photoshop.

I ended up wanting to move the figures apart around an inch and put a blind fold on the profile turned to the dark, I also wanted to have the hair down on the figure on the left. When I first thought of doing this painting a few years ago I was going to have both figures blindfolded but I like the contrast of sight and blindness, light and dark, sight and sound or other senses.

I then traced my drawing study and transferred it to my linen. The painting is 18in x 24in

Day one painting with a limited palette of earth colors.

Second coat, starting to use a full palette of colors.

Start of third coat of painting on the figure on the left. Now it's time to focus and start to model the subtle changes of form, trying to capture the way the light is falling around the form, the beautiful rhythms and patterns it makes.

Here is a detail.

I sometime find it interesting to look at a painting I'm working on in a fame if I have one of the right size handy. It makes me see the painting differently at times.

More to come soon!

Easels and screws

2011-02-21T22:52:00.000-08:00

In a previous post I was asked about the screws that I use on my easels. Here are some photos of one of my easels and the screws that I've used to hold the canvas away from the top and bottom of the easel.

I've installed screws on all my wood easels, another studio easel and a french traveling easel.

The main reason that I use these screws is so that I can brush past the end of the canvas, much like one can brush past the side of the canvas when it's on a normal easel. As the size of my paintings tends to be on the smallish side, it's important to me to be able to control my brush work right up to the edge of the canvas.

The screws also hold on to the canvas and give me confidence that the canvas will not go anywhere ;)

The easel in the these photos is my biggest easel. The Italian Mabef M/04, here is a link to Mabef's website http://www.mabef.it/english/prodotti/studio.php

This is a beautiful easel with a crank at the front to move the canvas up and down as you need.

Here is how I went about installing the screws into the easel. For the top part I ended up using a small piece of wood I had sitting around. I put 4 screws though the piece of wood pointing downwards. Then I attached the piece to the easel's top holding thing with 2 screws.

I wanted to keep the screws as close (front and back) to the main upright support of the easel so the canvas can be placed firmly against the main support and then one can lower the top holding thing to secure the canvas.

When I'm working on a small canvas I want to be able to set it up at the left of the easel so I can see my model and the canvas easily. With the top wood piece extending out on both sides it lets me set the canvas where I want it.

For the bottom I've installed 4 screws along the bottom support. Here it got a little tricky as I couldn't get a screwdriver to work coming up from the bottom shelf, as below the bottom shelf is a box to store things. This box is attached to the bottom shelf and got in the way. I ended up drilling holes down into the bottom support and then using a hacksaw to cut the heads off the screws. I then used pliers to hold the screws from the top and turn them down into the drilled out holes.

Here is the last tip, make sure all the screws are at the same height! ;)

New paintings

2011-02-07T23:25:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple of recent paintings.


"Fall Apples" Oil on panel 20"x24"

In Fall Apples I was thinking a little about Claudio Bravo. I remember reading many years ago about some of his still life paintings from the 70's? when he was influenced by some zen ideas. If I remember correctly he was painting rocks on a white table. They were just scattered and placed randomly on the table. I liked the idea that there are beautiful relationships in any grouping of things.

Of course I've not got to the part where I'm just randomly placing things in my still life setups but I like the thought. :)

When I think of drawing or painting peoples faces, I'm reminded that even though there are people who have features and proportions to their face that are more easily recognized to our eye as beautiful every face has its own unique beauty and rhythm to its shapes.

In Fall Apples I also used one strong light source as well as a softer light that was not coming from the same direction as the main spotlight. It was interesting to work with this light.

"Onions and Garlic" Oil on linen 14"x30"

In Onions and Garlic I was back to using just one light source on my setup.

I was doing a very quick painting sketch of my friend Greg the other day and decided to video it for fun! I normally don't work this fast, for most of my paintings I'll slowly build the painting up over a few week or more... I do have a lot of fun doing these short little studies when I do them :)

I know I've not been posting very much the last little while. I hope to remedy this in the future.

My camera lens has been in for repair recently and when I got it back I took photos of some recent drawing studies. I was also looking through some drawing for a few years ago and took new photos of them. Most of the drawings are short 20/30 minute life drawing studies.

Landscape Studies from Galiano Island

2010-09-27T13:31:00.000-07:00

I was over on Galiano Island over the weekend for a wedding. It's been a rainy September here for the most part but we had wonderful weather this weekend. I managed to do a couple of short landscape studies. It's very peaceful and quiet on Galiano which makes it's a very restful place to paint :)

This colour study was painted on the Bluff over looking active pass.

Random drawings

2010-09-12T15:20:00.000-07:00

Here are a few recent drawings and studies.


I did a 2 hour drawing demo for a local art store yesterday. I always have fun when I'm demoing, in someways it like a performance which is a change from working quietly away in my studio ;)


This is a very quick 25 minute study of someone I am thinking of doing a painting of. When I meet new people that I may use in a painting I like to do 2 quick studies of them. One profile and one front on so I get to know and understand a little of the three dimensional quality of their head and face. This helps me when I'm thinking about a painting composition.

Here is a small 20 minute life drawing that I did the other day.

Detail 2

It's always interesting to me to think about the light a painting may end up in or may be shown in. I work with north light or at night with full spectrum florescent lights, lighting my painting as I'm working on it. When it's shown in a gallery with hot and warm halogen or incandescent light the painting can look a bit (or a lot) different then when I'm painting it. I've been trying to make sure I look at my painting under stronger lighting at times as I'm working on it to see how it looks in this light.

Of course whoever ends up buying the painting will probably have different lights as well.... I'm also always curious to see how my paintings look on different computer monitors. I edit an image to look good on what I'm using but never know how it will look on others screens... Ah, the life of an image maker is an interesting one!

I've been working on my lemon painting again tonight. I tend to listen to music when I paint. Tonight I was listening to a little of the Ethiopian singer Gigi as well as Bob Dylan and CBC radio's As It Happens - The Midnight Edition. I tend to listen to music or the radio when I paint...

For this coat of the painting I'm starting to really model the form of the lemons, it's lots of fun :)

Here are some photos from tonight.

Working alone slowly :) It's a very meditative state I get in when painting, very focused and relaxed.

Done for the night. This was around 5 hours of painting.

My goal with my blog is to post different work in progress and some of my thoughts about art and life :)

Here is an image of what is on my easel at the moment.

This is just the second coat and I haven't started to model the form in much detail yet....

I'll try to post more as this painting develops :)
