Here’s a monochromatic sketch I did last night. It is oil on linen, about 13×16. It used some good ole’ Winsor and Newton burnt sienna with a small amount of winsor green (or veridian) to tone down the background underpainting. I really enjoy doing these kind of monochrome studies. It really helps me free up my brushwork and allows me to focus on pure drawing with a brush. They tend to be pretty quick as well, which is an added bonus.

A feature in the Informed Collector newsletter, showcasing my painting, “The Cellist“, which will be on display in the upcoming OPA Eastern Regional Exhibit at Walls Fine Art Gallery.

If you plan on being near Wilmington, NC, stop by the gallery for a great exhibit. Should be a really good show.
