Today was a Good Day
Monday not so much. We were at Fieldcote Museum on Monday and I tried for the second very unsuccessful time to paint the front of the Tudor style building. I don't think that I have ever done a painting with dappled light that I have been happy with. I loved my underpainting but it went steadily downhill from there. I am too embarrassed to post it and that doesn't happen often.

The sketch group today was just the opposite. Brandon is a wonderful young model and it is a pleasure to sketch him. I painted him a year ago in oils and this time I used my pastel pencils which are way more fun. I have included a very grainy photo taken with my iPhone so you can decide if you think that I managed a likeness.
