painting with oils

recently i felt i needed some guidance 

and to be pushed technically in my oil painting, 

so i decided to attend Dee Donaldson's weekly classes. 

i was super lucky to get a space and even though it is a big commitment 

(for me ;) ) it feels SO right for where i'm at right now! 

these are hand studies i worked on 

in class on wednesday. 

they are all still in progress and might even stay that way, 

i'm working on getting acquainted with the subject and staying loose. 

let's see where it takes me...
