Channelling Charles Sovek

I've been channeling Charles Sovek lately. 
He was one of the biggest influences on my work 
and I will never forget him. 
Re-reading his book before I gave the figure workshop 
last week re-inspired me.  
Today I did this from an image I took of the model 
we used for a class. 


"Have A Seat"
6 x 8 


It reminded me of this study I did 
in a Charles' workshop in 2006!  

RIP dear friend and mentor.

  3. yeah, I loved charles sovek too. took 2 workshops from him, the first one in 1995. I did a painting of him painting a scene in Jalapa, Mexico and sent a copy to him. He told me it was posted on his refrigerator. I miss him.
