Globe with Books and a letter
Today I'm posting a new painting that I completed a few weeks ago. Its my biggest still life painting I've done but I'm quite pleased with it. I'll post the poster study in a few weeks.

Color Wheel/Color Theory
Last year I was able to work on doing a color wheel with Carlos Madrid. Carlos studied color theory with Michael Aviano for a few years. He had me come to his studio and work with him once a week over a 3 month span. I started by creating a value scale, based off of the Munsell Color System. From there I worked to get the color as accurate as I could, and worked mixing the lightest colors to the darkest colors. The end result of my color wheel represents the highest chroma of each color. After working the highest chroma, I then went and created a value string of each color, using my value scale. In the end I have a very valuable color wheel that I use when painting still life's.
Portait Session
I was fortunate enough to paint with my students at the Guild for my night class. The painting was done in 8 sessions for about 3 hours each session.
