During the spring of 2006 Allen Schmertzler traveled to Cuba with a group of artists from Portland, Oregon organized by Broderick Gallery.
Schmertzler usually works ala-prima ... paint directly applied on the surface without underdrawings. Often, but not always, he draws studies before he starts. The underpinnings of all of the paintings are very lose and gestural figures splashed on with colorful and wet acrylic paint in a "reckless" manner to create mood and accidents from which to work. He incorporates historical artist's motifs to choreograph, design, structure, or mood of a current political-social theme and to give it a spin.
Allen Schmertzler captures the essence of people, places, and events on paper.

Schmertzler's "of the moment", energized, and spirited short gesture poses drawn from life, capture each model's unique attitude, mood, drama and structure. Individual 2 to 3 hour alive life drawing sessions are available on a fee-by-project basis. It is a less expensive and certainly less formal alternative and possibly more expressive than a portrait. Choose nude, clothed or costumed. Being framed as an expressive figure drawing is a great gift for any occasion.
