My 2-hour 11x15 in. oil study on watercolor pad of Danny from tonight’s pose. A really fantastic model! We were 6 artistsall wearing masks. Danny allowed me a quick pic without her mask. #artmodel @_wolf.child_ #openfiguredrawing #shanemcdonaldstudios Sundays, 4-7 pm. https://shanemcdonaldstudios.com/FigureGroup.html

Took a break on a commission (that I can’t show) to draw this dancer that I had an opportunity to take photos and video of at KSU yesterday. Thanks, Zac and Lisa! It was a beautiful aesthetic experience that I wanted to try to recapture today at my studio. @_ksudance #charcoaldrawing #whiteconté #dancer #moderndance #figuredrawing #maledancer #red

An old commission for a space somewhere off Huff Rd, Atlanta back in 2014. Anyone know where it is? I think it was a coffee shop. #commission #hugepainting #deer #antlers #artistforhire #acryliconcanvas #clearprimer #naturescene #aspentrees

Molly is now in her 20s, and this past June I was given the opportunity to paint her using soft pastels in this 25x19 inch work. The reference photo was from the 1990s. #pastel #artworkonpaper #softpastels #portraitofagirl #portraitcommission #shanemcdonaldstudios

So happy to see this pastel portrait I completed of these two beautiful subjects travel to its home in Delaware! Thank you, Nicole and Sheryl R. Hynson!
