Oil on paper sketches

By Laraine Armenti | Published: January 8, 2012

One of my goals in graduate school is to become more conscious of my creative process. The oil on paper paintings below are a selection from daily work done before or after sustained paintings. They are a way to quickly summarize an impulse or direction to explore. Time spent painting on paper took the place of drawing in ink done earlier in the semester. I plan to make this a consistent part of my painting practice.

Oil paintings

By Laraine Armenti | Published: December 12, 2011

Here are oil paintings that I presented last week in end of the semester critiques. There are approximately 30 graduate students in two classes. Reviewers include faculty, visiting artists, graduate and undergraduate students, and visitors. Everyone is encouraged to respond to the work and ask questions of the presenting artists. This process provides direction for second semester work.
