Oil sketch Practice

This is an oil sketch I did for practice. Many people that are learning how to paint don't practice on a daily basis. We accept the notion of ''you must practice every day'' wen it comes to drawing but it's good to carry that mentality when you are painting. It's simple to pickup a pencil and start to draw, but one must not be afraid of paint. With time you can learn to setup in a way that can be quick to start painting and less daunting.

Portrait of the artist's Mother

Here's a portrait of my mother done with HB to 8B graphite pencils, 6B charcoal sticks and 2B white Conte on grey mouse paper. The drawing was done from life and detail was added after by looking at pictures taken during the session. Love you Mom!
