color studies and ink
Doing some quick 1 hour or so master copies of great still-life painters. The first is Golucho; the 2nd, Israel Hershberg. originals first!
And some ink sketches---
practice!

| Now I'm realizing my colors are way over-saturated in both cases (though the photo strengthened them even more so); both painters are masters of strong, subtle color. I need to work on that! |

Lopez Garcia
Antonio Lopez Garcia, born 1936.
These drawings and paintings are in chronological order. The first was completed in 1950, when the artist was 13 years old. The 2nd, 1959- the artist was 22. The 3rd, 1960 - 23.
It's alright; we're not so blessed. But we'll work with what we have.

oil stuff
the first is an oil painting on canvas, 24"x30"
the second is an oil rub technique taught to us by our media teacher Don Brandes, some fun stuff, except I used the wrong surface; watercolor board instead of illustration board. Too rough and texturey. John Coltrane flamed up! gonna finish it up this weekend

latest illo
We were to illustrate a song in Matteo Caloiaro's class. I chose Kid For Today by Boards of Canada: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM2ZIWUJVGs
Here's the piece:
Look up "James Jean .psds" and youll find some awesome stuff. He released some process documents some time back and theyre still available online; I was heavily influenced by his digital work when working on this piece. I definitely learned a lot from it-
