green man

My friend Gina and I watched the London Drawing Group video about the green man. 

II wish I had done a little preparation before class, observed some different shaped leaves and such. But I didn't and so I started just sketching some possibilities, above.

Then we worked on these paintings; I still have some work to do on these. 

Was thinking a green man painting might make a good holiday card ...

Then we finished up with some 1 to 2 minute blind contour drawings of different sculptures of the green man to use as a jumping off point for further paintings. 

As usual the contour drawings are my favorites.
