Those of you that attended the Steven Assael Workshops at the Boca Museum School know of his practice to clip his palette next to his painting for a seamless evaluation of color.
Look at this cool product by David Jon Kassan.
Beautiful blended skin tone palette. His technique differs from the full palette of Steven Assael. Different results, both exquisite.
Check out his sketchbook live videos. Be prepared to learn from this man.
I just realized he is having a week long workshop in Civita Italy - one week painting from a nude model.
I am finishing some of my life drawings and will be posting them on facebook and this blog.
Is anyone interested in small classes at my studio?
My ideas are open and limited to up to 5 - 6 students.
Cost will depend on demand and model fees.
Life drawing with an emphasis on underlying forms.
Group guided copying old master drawings.
Practical Perspective. Seeing forms in space and relating them to the figure.
Self portrait. How you see/draw/paint yourself. History of famous self portraits.

My daughter and I are traveling to Honduras April 24 - 28
We will be helping at Our Little Roses orhpanage for girls.
Mem and I will hopefully be presenting a self portrait project in Spanish.
We will help with maintenance, painting and landscaping.
Check out the orphanage at:
I hope to keep a sketchbook of drawings and paintings? during this trip. Look on the web site at the young girl's project of drawing the quince girls.
Honduras and San Pedro Sula have been overtaken by crime and poverty. These girls have been rescued from the streets. They have a safe place to grow and learn. Most will be bi lingual and go to college as well as reaping the benefits of knowing a spiritual way of life.
We are always seeking donations for our trip and for the orphanage.

I will keep you posted!
New term starts on thursday for me at The Boca Museum School. My life drawing students are ready for some experimentation! I have the last 3 sessions open for one model, one pose if you are interested. Watch out, she might be hanging from a ladder!
From Drawing to Painting thursday mornings is open for what ever you need from me. Most are loving drawing. This is a necessary class that most people feel they don't need. Drawing is everything!
I hope to see you there!
