Small 2hr oil sketch from life, for a class taught by Jim Decasare (hope I spelled that correctly) the class was all about color.

Hello Dan,
This is really great, how small is it?

Michele Rushworth · 03-18-2007, 03:03 PM

What an energetic piece -- and well drawn too!

Hello Grethe, this is a small sketch just 8x10 the class I did this in was all about making these small colorful sketches in preparation for the larger painting. We did several sketches of this young man he has a very interesting face and was an excellent model.

Thank you Michelle, we were encouraged to throw caution to the wind when doing these small sketches, I'm glad you like it.. I have several of these sketches from class, they were all very quickly and loosely done.

Dan,

I love this sketch! The brushstrokes do have a lot of energy, and that makes it fun to look at. I especially like how you fit this composition tightly into the 8 x 10 boundaries. The neck/chin and hand form a really strong triangular base and the red knitted cap pushes against the top.
