Drawing Class Thursday, April 8, 2010




In honor of Spring (and Bob) FLOWERS!

We will be 'demystifying" flowers.
I will bring both real and (not) for you to study.
A specific light source makes it easier to describe their shape.
Remember, as the light bounces around inside the folds, it becomes warmer, not darker.

My most favorite teacher in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE
is Jan Hart (next to my dear friend Jane)
Check out her website!
She just moved from New Mexico to Costa Rica
She offers workshops in watercolor painting in Costa Rica
(anyone interested in joining me?)
Also, here is the book I was mentioning the other day,
"A Watercolor Artist's guide to Exceptional Color."
She is a delightful person and brilliantly talented teacher.


Also,
the Susan K. Black Foundation sponsors the "Blossom" competition
Check out who submitted and won in the past.
Some very fine painters made a go for the big prize.
Check them out.


Bring your drawing tools for solid value studies!
This is the key, the cake, the foundation.
Bring your watercolors if you wish.

Photos are also great to draw from and you will have them at home to finish.

See you Thursday!

Atlases map and mirror our journeys of discovery and often make visible more than just physical terrain; driven by our needs and desires, they embolden us to venture into the unknown. From our coordinates in Southeast Asia, the arc of our shared histories encompasses East and South Asia. These regions bear the imprints of one another's diverse cultures, even as boundaries are also constantly reimagined. Fraught and unstable, these borders are characterized by fluid mo
