I wasn't planning on painting the other day but got talked into it at the last minute -- so this was done in about an hour with borrowed brushes and borrowed paint.

Sorry for not posting recently. It's been crazy. This was my most recent painting from a new model to our painting sessions. The sofa was there  for another painter's class and we just had to use it.

Arroyo stream

Kevin Turcotte
6 x 8 inches
oil on linen mounted on panel
I did this one last weekend in the 102 degree heat. About half way through I noticed the little camp stool I was sitting on started listing to the rear, then it broke and deposited me on the ground.  I finished the painting on my knees, but not before  accidentally knocking my roll of paper towels into the water where they sucked up half the creek, rendering them useless.  Remember, painting outdoors is fun...

This setup looked like the cover to an old noir paperback novel -- it just needs screaming yellow type above the image.

Gouache landscape study

Kevin Turcotte
5 x 7 inches
gouache on illustration board
Mike Hernandez gave a little gouache class on campus last week and we painted as the sun dropped rapidly in the evening sky. By the time I was done with this one the light had changed completely. Still, it was lots of fun and inspiring as well.

Experimental Drawing

Kevin Turcotte
12 x 16 inches
pastel, watercolor on colored paper
One of the best things about working at an animation studio is the variety of art classes offered. This was from a recent class emphasizing freedom of expression over accurate depiction. Quick and direct -- and fun.
