Max Ginsburg, painting took -

When I paint with a group, I often like to turn my friends and painting. (B. 1931). I sit next to Max Ginsburg, so I painted

I used five colors of casein: cobalt blue, Venetian red, golden ocher , raw umber, and titanium white.

I do in-block with a flat brush half inch, then worked out the details with a small round synthetic sable. I am creating all for the warm reflected light that bounced of his painting.

Most artists of the group last night studied under Max (whose painting is the second step on the right): me, Kevin Ferrara, Jeanette Gurney Richard Scarpa, Daisy de Puthod, Max Ginsburg, Mark Texeira, Ricky Mujica, Garin Baker and John Varriano

Edit: Wade asked what kind of pad I used, and it was a book 'Moleskine watercolor

in response to the question of Dustin, here is a shot of progress. during the block-in. It was the end of the evening, so I only had 20 minutes to do all the portrait of Max. The in-block was the general tone of each area, painted semi-transparent, and I went and changed the rendering of each area quickly on the second pass.
