New drawings and paintings

Additional artwork
January 25, 2025

I am on the verge of leaving my flat in which I have lived for just a bit more than 6 years. While I was packing, I found some artwork that I had not published on this blog before and so I decided to do this now.

The first two items are my daughter's : a pencil drawing of our family with my two boys on the left side and my daughter and myself on the right side and a pastel drawing of two flowers.

The rest are all mine being some quick sketches of semi-clothed models and a couple of oil paintings: a bird, a horse head and two still-life of fruit and vegetables

I tried putting them in gallery mode but my laptop or wordpress was not complying so I just had to insert them as separate images. I hope you like them.

Trials of oils

Trials of oils

17-18 August 2017

 

I am delaying the challenge of 10 aquarelles as I decided to check how things would be with oils.

The following are a trial of sketches using oils alla prima on aquarelle paper and a ballerina snapshot from the below videoclip on stretched canvas.

 

As usual with most of my oils, I like using monochrome or a series of tone on tone which gives my oil paintings a naive painting look that I personally like. I hope some of you like them too.
