Plein Air painting out at the DD Ranch in Terrebonne, Oregon. This old truck was just asking to be included in my portfolio. These little studies take about 2 hours to do, which is far more time than I should take but since I don't do plein oil regularly, I guess it will do. 
Oil on canvas board 8 x 10.

Another class in portrait painting. We started a new model today that will take us 5 weeks to work on. Gage instructor M. Lane took us through a review of our drawing process today covering the use of lines and gesture to get a basic form.

Completed painting of live model. We used the same palette as the masters and worked in layers with transparent oils. I will take this class again so I can get a solid grasp of this method.
