I'm doing a Oil painting of this scene, got tired of working on it, so desided to do a Acrylic painting of the same scene so here it is. Sometimes it helps me when I'm stuck on a painting to go to another media like acrylic to get a different feel or look or just shake it up abit, different ideas.

First time I've done a Pastel sents I was about 12 years old and at that time it was my first painting of some Flamingo's. So I think I'll try doing some more from time to time it was fun and you can alway learn from all new things that you try, it helps you also in the medias you are familier with.

Drawing

I've been doing a figure drawing get-together this winter, once a week. About 10 Artist gather at the Redtail Gallery in Sanpoint, Idaho, owned by Mark Kobiak, who is a Sculptor. We hire a live model to work from and has been a great excersize for myself and I think everyone. Althought this paticular drawing isn't from the class. I ordered a figure drawing book by Henry Yan's and I think he is one of the best drawers I have seen. So while I'm watching T.V. at night I have been drawing from his book, so these are copies of his work, but the point is a person has to start somewhere and it makes me draw and in the long run it will make me a better painter, drawer and Artist as a hole.
