Studio Sale (click on the image to see the works)

Working towards a lesson with coloured pencil and one about my alla prima technique meant making a LOT of head studies. I have selected the best of them to offer here.

Bridgman For Beginners, Vol. 1, Comes Out Nov 15th

This project is something that I have been working on for a while now and the 1st lesson is ready for release.
