Figure sculpture in progress

Working from the live model twice a week for the past three months. 1:3 scale. Oil based clay. Almost finished.

Homemade Palettes

I make my own palettes out of 1/8" Baltic birch ply with a 1/4" counter weight. It's the most comfortable palette I've ever used. This one is stained dark brown but I also made a primer grey one for my studio mate Kyle Abernethy. Thumb holes vary widely depending on size of hand. I made a left handed palette for a painter friend as well.

Palette "blanks" in the studio.
