Below are moments chosen from my sketchbooks. Most of them are studies from other paintings. I like studying and learning the way other artists solve the complexities of nature through art.
Euan Uglow "Beautiful Girl Lying Down"
Study from John Singer Sargent's painting "dinner at night." Sargent is one of my favorite artists and the best figure painter of all time. So, I draw little sketches to study his skills.
study from David Levine
study from a degas drawing. I was lucky enough to see the beautiful exhibit of degas drawings, paintings and sculptures in LA. After that, I immediately grew a new appreciation for degas sensitivity to line and light. This is my favorite drawing of his.

study from Paul oxbenougers painting "the dance"
Study from Whistler
I love fashion. It's true, everything about it is captivating. the textures, colors and especially fashion photography. I love the simplicity and the dramatic nature of the photo I drew this from. I think it was from the 30's
