Roger Gordon, Artist

Roger creates life drawings and paintings in a studio setting with a live model. using mixed-media: charcoal, carbon pencil, conte, pastel and pen and ink, in combination and separately on tea or coffee stained paper.

Oil paintings always begin as direct renderings to canvas, his subjects are then photographed for future reference, based on the initial sketch. Because his oil painting process takes several days, models cannot always return for multiple sittings and therefor the photos are used as an intermediary reference until the painting is completed.

Portraits usually require one to two sittings; Painting a portrait is a step -by-step process begining with sketches from life of my subject in the studio, then using reference photos. Roger uses a variety of mediums oil on canvas, watercolor, pen and ink and pastels.

Prices vary depending on complexity and medium. Drawings and paintings on his website are available for purchase.
