Breezee is a talented musical freestyler who inspired me to get back into the studio after an all-consuming UX project. Small painting of a small guy with a big presence!

Practice: A Work in Progress
These 20-minute alla prima studies portray characters from my current tv addiction. I set a timer, use a limited palette of acrylics, and one brush… my trusty #4 filbert.I’m happiest when I achieve a likeness with few revisions. I really enjoy working full speed with one brush, without concern for small details, but tradeoffs with certain features (blobby eyes, meh….) can be disappointing. Some are created even faster, in about 10 minutes with the leftover palette of a first piece.

iPad in the Figure Studio
I decided to venture over to Hipbone Studio with my iPad2. I’d just downloaded Sketchbook Pro, and am still adapting to the tool. I look forward to the day I can draw and paint with less effort – changing brush size, opacity, color still feel cumbersome. It’s a great app, but I do wish there were a fabulous pressure-sensitive stylus. This looks incredibly promising: Jaja.
Sketchbook’s set of Bug brushes come in handy to keep the blog family-friendly.
