'Head Drawing' - Assignment #2

Last week in 'Head Drawing' we each posed for a few minutes while everyone took reference photos to be used for our next assignment.  It was up to us to draw whomever we wished and I have posted my reference photo and in-progress drawing below.  The piece will be completed for class next Friday.

This week we began painting from a pose that will be continued over the next 2 weeks.  The painting below is a small (12 x 16") study I did to work-out the composition and color choices.  Next week I will begin a larger canvas (16 x 20") with 2 class sessions to complete!

Einstein's brain was driven from New Jersey in a Tupperware bowl in the back of a Buick.

A favorite Einstein quote of mine - self explanatory.

He was a ladies man.
