Portraits of Men
Some of these portraits are quick sketches
arise from long portrait sittings that allow for detailed studies of faces and drapery. I use professional models; I rarely draw friends or commissioned portraits because I like to experiment free from constraints and others' expectations. My portraits aim for a synthesis of form, media, and expression. I particularly like to find and exaggerate the interesting colors under the skin tones. |
For portraits of women, please go to the exhibit: Portraits: Women The distinction between portraits and figures is an arbitrary one. To see figure studies and figure drawings, please go to the Realistic & Expressionistic Figures exhibit. And many more figures are found in the Abstract & Decorative Figures exhibit. |
