Stencil and Oil by Cole Sanders

My first landscape! Watercolor has proven to be really difficult, but I have learned alot about warm/cool relationships.

25 minute, full color study, vine, pastel. I wanted to try a looser style for pose, try not to blend as much, turned out to be a lot of fun!

20 minute, warm / cool, conte, vine, compressed

This is the first work in the Stencil and Oil series, he is painted on wood panel measuring 5' by 1'. I came up with using actual wire on his face for a 3d effect that turned out very well. more to come! let me know what you think!

This is my most recent work in the Stencil and Oil series. Her original size is 5' by 3' and she took about five hours. let me know what you think!

Created in Life Drawing with Joseph Forkan, 20 minutes

Created in Illustrator, goal of the project was to create a design that only artists would understand. For my project I took the disturbing painting of 'Saturn Devouring His Son' by Goya and replaced his disembowled son with a sub sandwich... Mmm

This is the second painting in a series I am working on that incorporates spray-paint stencils and oil painting. I wanted this one to have a feeling to tension, the blood red color, the hidden face and the twisted body seem to set the correct mood. The actual work is 3' by 4' on wood panel. More posts soon!
