Melodie Monrose Top Newcomers Series

Morning! So.. I realized today that i got side tracked and i haven’t finished posting all of the portraits i painted for Models.com‘s Top Newcomers Spring 2011. Sorry for that! So picking up with the Posting, today’s model is Melodie Monrose. As i’ve mentioned in previous posts before i draw anyone, i really like to get a sense of who they are, so i will try to find interviews or videos and i will look through tons of pictures, because i think all the knowledge and feeling for the person comes out subconsciously in the portrait. When i was researching Melodie, all the comments and articles i read commented about her being such a pleasant soft spoken girl.

When i looked up pictures of her, she had a gorgeous elegance, and one of the most beautifully natural smiles i've seen.

Which made me especially excited about painting her portrait. I really like how it turned out. It is one of my favorites in the series. What do you think? Also, how was your weekend? Mine was really good. My brother and i spend some time working on writing our book. The story is coming along. I'm shooting for a year & a half from now to have the book written... hopefully, we can finish it by then... ;) P.s. Just wanted to say thank you to IMG Models for there kind words on there blog.

Linda Vojtova Exhibit

Well the Linda Vojtova Exhibit is open today! I’m so bummed I couldn’t make it out for the opening. Dave and I fly out this Friday night for NYFW. Wish it was today! Oh well. Christopher Michael from One Management was kind enough ask me to be apart of this project, and I’m really glad he did. I’ve been wanting to show you the Painting for a few months now. I really like how it turned out. It kinda has a different vibe to it then a lot of my other paintings. What do you think? I hope you like it!

Basically i created each of my boards as a sort of photo essay prompt and when i post on it i complete the prompt… if that makes sense? Any ways hope your having a great night!

Marcelia Freesz – Top Newcomers Spring 2011

So back when i was doing Top Newcomers Spring 2011 Series for Models.com I had finished the whole series and right before the paintings were going to go up I found out there was one more girl i needed to paint. It was a girl from One Management named Marcelia Freesz. So last minute, i started researching to find some images of her so i could paint her, and all i can say is wow. She has quite an amazing strong distinct look. Very interesting eyes and head shape. So this was a really fun picture to do, and i like how the overall mood of it turned out. What do you think?

Julia Saner Top Newcomers Spring 2011

Hello Hello! Good morning and afternoon to some of you out there! ;) How is your day going? Today’s painting i think is my favorite out of the Top Newcomers Spring 2011 Series i did for Models.com. It’s of a Julia Saner, who was the winner of Elite Model Look Switzerland 2009. Julia has a great wholesome look. When i was looking through pictures of her, there was this one profile photo of her that really inspired me. There was something so pensive about her expression it made me instantly know that was what i was going to paint. All and all I really like how it turned out. What about you? Whatcha think? Well i hope you all are having a great day! :)

Britt Maren – Top Newcomers Spring 2011 Series

Hey Friends! So the Painting today is from the Top Newcomers Spring 2011 Series i did for Models.com. The Painting is Britt Maren. Britt has a really interesting look, it’s very versatile. Basically before i did any of the paintings, i looked through about 100 pictures of each of the girls so i could get a sense of their personality. I found that usually helps me alot. But Britt really has a wide range of looks. When i saw this picture, i instantly wanted to paint it. There was just something in the pose & expression that i really liked. :) I’m currently working on improving my drawing and painting skills right now…. But hopefully i should have some new different stuff for you soon ;)

Arizona Muse – Top Newcomers Spring 2011

Well hello, my friends! How was your weekend? Mine was amazing. It was like the first weekend where I wasn’t working through it in like 12 weeks! yep yep… so the Top Model Newcomer of the day is Arizona Muse! She was really fun to paint. She has a real wholesome familiar look to her. She actually reminds me a lot of a childhood friend of mine, which I think made it easy to paint her. So when i was tasked with painting each of the Top Newcomers of Spring 2011 for models.com, I went on a searching spree for references of Arizona. For some reason, this one runway photo of her really stood out to me. I think my favorite thing about this picture of her is the confidence/determined expression on her face. I really hope you like it :)
