Hi my name is Brian. I first started really getting into art in middle school where I drew comics. I met some older artists in high school that got me into painting. I study the old masters from books and such. I was really influenced by John Singer Sargent, a great protrait painter of his time. I studied with a friend for about 3 years after high school. Where I did a shit load of human studies and paintings. Now I am in my second year of art college at Herron in Indianapolis. I now do a mix of realistic and abstract works. I thank everyone for the nice comment about my work. It makes me want to do more art. Thanks Thanks Thanks!!
