Figure Drawings of Andrea, Mike, and Vanessa

18"x24" Ink and watercolor on paper, Matt Bernson 2013

 

 

Andrea is the model here (in the three below).  I think she plays...the oboe?  She's always smiling, 

I don't know how she maintains that constant grin.

 

Mike is the model for the three below.

 For these four below, the model was Vanessa.  She's always great, she does yoga

and has a personality that comes through in her poses.

She also said that my artwork is "funkadelic".

Few more for the Portfolio

Self-portrait process on Eyebrow/Beard with GIF

Here's more progress on my current self-portrait.

Doing a self-portrait with a weird facial expression is an exciting challenge.

Getting those wrinkles in there to show the parts that are indirectly affected make all the difference.
