UCSB Basketball Studies

Fall 2021 // 16 x 20 in, 8 x 8 in, 8 x 8 in // Oil

I was lucky enough to trail the UCSB Men’s Basketball Team for a portion of the 2021-22 season. Having access to practices, games, and the locker-room. Sketching as much as I could with the goal of making paintings from up close studies of a basketball team. Ultimately the project was cut short by COVID limitations, but it was an amazing exercise in drawing from life to create paintings in the studio.
