Wonderful gallery. Thanks for sharing your work. Very inspirational. I have taken a seminar from William Whitaker (who lives up your way) at the Scottsdale Art School. I went to school at USU in Logan. Too cold now for my metal infested spine.. haha.

Hey! I noticed that you mentioned on one of your drawings that it was a student. Can I ask where you teach?

I currently teach at Salt Lake Community College in Utah, as well as at Petersen's Art Center in Sugarhouse

Ah okay. Some of the figures looked like some of the students that come model at BYU-I, so I was curious.

I received my degree from BYU-I. Β Some of my paintings are from BYU-I students.

Illustration. (sort of, I'm just getting my BA, not my BFA)
I most often have Huntsman and Abbeglen, but I've also had Carter, Parson, Ward and Ellis.

Very nice! I loved Parson, he was the main reason I decided to go there

Oh cool!
I tended to butt heads with him in class, but I learned a great deal, and we had some really interesting discussions after class.
Here's a comparison of my progress while in his class:
Before: fav.me/d3kfz0s After: fav.me/d3l96dz
I'm almost tempted to take the class again, now that I think about it. Or at least, some sort of class where I can focus on light and shadow.

That's wonderful! How neat to be able to see such improvement from one semester. Β I would love to take some more classes from Leon. Β

I'm working on a semi portrait of a couple.Β I found the photo in an antique shop around here.Β It was taken in the 40s at a local amusement park.Β The guy looks handsome and rather dis-interested and the girl looks innocent and excited.Β It's a toughy ... lots of expression and also reflections of things in the table.Β Plus it's black and white so I'm imagining the colors.Β I royally messed it up today and went to route of watercolor ground over the woman's face.Β This is where I'm having the difficulty.Β I just can't get the faces the way I want them ... Hence my comment about studying your work.Β Skin tones and expressions are very challenging to me.Β Portraits in generally are a bit tough ... Β I don't know if there's a way to post WIPs that are not publicly available.Β I know this description isn't exactly painting the picture ...
So, as an excersise I grabbed a stock photo from here and put the other piece aside.Β Spent the afternoon trying something new ... hopefully it turned out okay.

Sounds tricky. Β Lots of exercises and practice will help a ton. Also if you can do some painting from life to get used to the colors, that will help you invent colors better when working from photos (especially bw photos). Β Good luck!

Thanks for the tip.Β I suppose I'm going to go and have to find some live models to paint ... and I can think of worse challenges to have.
