Drawing with Dorian
Last Thursday, I had a chance to visit my buddy Dorian Vallejo. As luck would have it, he happened to have a model scheduled and I got to draw with him. It was way too short of a visit, but it was still great to catch up with him and Liana. I played around with some colored pencils of his and this is the drawing I did.
He shared with me the drawings he is putting in a book of his. They were really amazing and going through such a collection was very inspiring. I'll make sure to do a blog entry as soon as he has the book available. If you like figure drawings, it will be a must have.

dorian's book, figures
Please do share when Dorian's book is available - great to know he's got something in the works. I found his work through your blog many moons ago and it's great stuff.
This is a great sketch - now that the weather is going to be getting cold again, will that put a crimp on your outdoor work and drive you indoor with models again?
Lately travel and moving put
Lately travel and moving put a crimp on all my painting, and I have the Telephone Factory Art Show coming up in December which will take some time. Otherwise, I hope not to lose too much outdoor painting. I like winter painting almost as much as summer. For one, you don't have to worry about snakes, bugs and bears. Although, it can be tough to find a subject when all the trees look like sticks.
Seeing Dorian did make me want to do more figure work again. We'll see what happens in the next few months.
