master and student
[click to enlarge each]
Juan (aka "kindergarten boy") was in the zone the other day. Of late he has been working more figuratively--people with faces, sunshines, houses, etc. But here's a group that seems to focus on line and color (note, too, that a few of these incorporate his name, a la Robert Ryman). Juan has a distinct skill compared to other children for keeping his color clear and relatively unmixed (could it be the brush washing lessons I give him?)
The question is, in regard to color, who is influencing whom?

sktchbk : may 2002
I'm re-arranging and cleaning out the studio. As always, I have to open every box and go through every sketchbook, just by way of review. I don't "sketch" much anymore. But when I do, I generally go very quickly, filling up a book in a matter of a sitting or two. The image above is taken from one that has a few dates in May 2002.
For fun, I thought it would be interesting to see the whole book in a slideshow format. It turns out I can make that happen quite easily for you. Click here for a Quicktime slideshow of the whole sketchbook from beginning to end (it's 1MB...might take a minute to load...also, I tried to get some of my music in there, but to no avail this time).
Stay tuned for......figure drawings! What?
