Beach House 2015

5/30/2016

So I don't only use watercolor when I am making portraits.  I pretty much use whatever is around me. In this case it was oil pastels.  These were made at a beautiful beach house in Santa Monica last summer.  They are friends who came to celebrate my sisters birthday.
Left to Right: "Jill Reading a Book at the Beach House," pastel on paper, 11" x 14, 2015.  "Carly at the Beach House," oil pastel on paper, 11" x 14", 2015.  "Erin at the Beach House," oil pastel on paper, 11" x 14", 2015

Last weekend I was lucky enough to participate at a fundraiser for a little boy named Hollis.  He is a super sweet kid who is very sick.  His Grandma let me draw her.  I sketched others but I only remembered to take one photo...she was my first sitter.
To give hear Hollis's story and help his family out check out this link:

I had a great time sketching at another really amazing wedding last night.  There was a New Orleans Style Jazz Band!  And a fountain!  And it was at the Wright House!  It was awesome.  And so were the guests.  Here are a few samples of the sketches I made last night.  I also made some action sketches of activities and will post those in a bit.

Sketched at an amazingly sweet wedding this past weekend.  It was almost rained out, but luckily the rain didn't last too long and I was moved inside.  Yay!  I was able to meet so many very nice family members of the bride and groom, and some great kid models!!
