Mark Suntres - Mark is on fire this morning ! A magnificent work inspired by the King’s College Chapel , England. Mark is brilliant in the use of oil pastels and one can always enjoy his skills with colors, his attention to details and his talent all together. Bravo Mark 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

One stroke one young talented man✨

Michael Mc Lemore. Michael rarely draws figures but today for some reason he did and totally surprised me with that one stroke running around and defining the subject. Also I found some big size color pencils in my supplies so I gave Michael a big sketch book and the big color pencils. It brought a different scale to his work and a richness to the colors. The red pattern on the face is a mask Michael confirmed ✨✨✨✨🌟

Mark Suntres - Mark started a new piece this morning and took great care of the 1st steps,the laying and drawing of the buildings. He will now start the oil pastels, a step he always excels at, texture and choices of colors very smart and beautiful 🤩 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🔝⭐️

William Arnold is fairly new in the Art program. He is very very quiet. His gentle abstract drawings are mainly concentric strokes and use of a lot of colors 😍🤩😍 💙💚🧡🧡❤️💗

Mark Suntres is creating a piece that is already looking so awesome. Mark uses tracing paper and follows the tracing process pretty well. Here the project is to use the result of the traced subject twice so it will be like a mirroring effect More to come .... exciting He also adds some details with stencil work such a bright initiative✨

Such a delicate work with color pencils by Michael Mc Lemore
