New Postings!!
Thanks to all of you who have been clamoring for new postings this year. I really appreciate your interest! I've been very focused on drawing for many months now, and I've finally made the plunge back into oils. Betty Edwards ("Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" and "Color") says that painting is inherently more difficult than drawing because it requires input from the left side of the brain to mix colors as well as the artistic right side of the brain for drawing. Therefore, the artist in constantly switching gears during a painting. This might explain why even the old masters, such as John Singer Sargent, were famous for requiring up to 60 sittings by their patrons for a single portrait. All this to say, I hope to see outrageous progress in my painting in 2009. I hope you enjoy the ride with me. Cheers! -Lin

Quick Sketches
The following are some of the quick sketches I've been working on. The quick sketch is generally the initial study of any piece of art. It's meant to capture the gesture of the subject or composition with long flowing lines and large representative shapes. It's the artistic input that goes into a painting before any rendering or detailed drawing happens. I hope you enjoy them.

New Work
The next group of 6 portrait sketches were completed in the last couple of months. Sorry about the long dry spell. I've been working on my drawing skills and plan to move into painting in the next month or so. I've also been working hard on quick sketch and will try to post some examples of my work in the next few days. As always, please feel free to comment; I welcome your views.
