Greetings all, here are a couple of sketches of kids I found in a print ad some time ago. I don't have live models, so pics have to make due for studies here. Anywho, I went to the LA Art Show yesterday with a few friends at the LA Convention Center. Quite a treat really - viewed master paintings alongside current trends in the Fine Arts. Even some student work was present at the rear of the show, which was also nice to see. Well, nice to see that the entire artist's community of Los Angeles was represented, not so much in the content. (If you like modern sculpture, I'm sure it looked great.)
It was also amazing to see how diverse the artist community really is that have representation in galleries around the country. Yes, around the country. Even though it was the LA Arts Show, the FADA had sponsored the event - making more than the usual candidates available at the fair. I took some interest in a couple of small galleries that specialized in representing book illustrations and one that specialized in a western theme. That's right all you illustrators out there, you can too be represented at a gallery, you just have to do some research as to where your work fits! I must say there's nothing like standing inches away from a master painting worth more than half a million. Taking in the textures and the purity of colors that you never experience through reproduction. I suppose that's why art collection is still a very pleasurable and relatively popular pastime of the wealthy aneducated.
