Drawing

Sometimes you have to get a little messy to make it work. 

I'm using large pieces of graphite to create these drawings based on the architecture in Noyers. 

Working in France

Working on a small sculpture. I was given this great antique workbench to use. It is so sturdy and well built it will last another hundred years. 

Residency in France

Today is my first full day in Noyers, France. I've managed to create a new large drawing, shoot some preliminary photographs, and basically get things rolling.

new drawings

I've been making some drawings with graphite and alkyd paint lately. This is one of the smaller ones  I framed the other day. Framed size overall is about 13 x 13 inches.

I'm working on a new piece in the studio. Using 1" solid square stock is great to work with. I really like making sculpture at this scale these days.

recent studio shots

I am working on a welded steel piece. I really like this scale, it's about 8 feet long.

Sketchbook Project

I'm working on my contribution to The Sketchbook Project. The library is located in Brooklyn and the project will travel starting in March.

Some drawings done using pens I received as a Christmas present, (thanks Lisa and Mark!). 

Preparing for gold leaf

Some of the work that goes into a gold leaf finish.

I'm working on two pieces at the same time.

Rabbit skin glue being warmed in a water bath. 

 Applying the first coat of rsg.

 First coats of gesso, also warming in water bath.

After several (6-7) coats of gesso.

After drying, sanding cutting and polishing.

After this I'll be sealing and adding color before leafing.
