Portrait Painting 101, Week 5

My new class at The Drawing Studio is called Portrait Painting 101, with Mariana Carreras. I am working in oils.

For week five, we started a new painting. This painting, we went back to the indirect method. This week we painted a model holding a wine glass, starting with the under-painting, using burnt umber over a burnt sienna glaze.

Here is my under-painting. Next week we will complete it.

About This Website

David Larsen is an artist who lives in Tucson, Arizona. Thirty years ago, he attended a private art school. There, as a young man, he studied drawing and painting, with the idea of doing illustration for a living. Unfortunately, when he decided to pursue his passion as a career, the magic disappeared. As a result, he gave it up.

Twenty years later, after making his career elsewhere, he found his way again.

"This is my journey to rediscover art."

It's now been over a decade since David started his journey, and this website documents it from the beginning, from the rediscovery of his talents, to the honing of his skills, to his advancement as a fine artist. Come, discover his journey.
