Tuesday Painting Classes at The Boca Raton Museum School



12:30 - 3:30 and 6:30 - 9:30 pm.


ONE LOVE
Demo of the day:
Value, monochromatic painting and the power of underpainting.


Handout: Anatomy of a shadow.


Weekly Pigment: Cadmium Yellow Light


Come with the materials you have. We will evaluate where you are and where you want to go with your paintings. I will help you plan out your ideas and show you what happens when you manipulate the shapes and values for success.


Cool Artists for this week:


Adrian Gottlieb
Mr. Gottlieb has written a wonderful article about Verdaccio in "The Artists Magazine" this month.
Verdaccio is a green underpainting for flesh tones.
Grisalle is a grey underpainting or a value painting under color.
These are great ways to explore the value of color and temperature shifts.
Absolutely stunning oil paintings.
Make sure to look at the landscapes as well as the portraits.

Ingat Ignatov
Painterly oil paintings. He describes his subjects with a loose, expressive stroke.
His work is fresh because it is not overworked.
Knowledge of color and materials make fresh bold decisions.
Notice his subject matter. The frying pan with sunny side up eggs.
You will never be bored again!

Astrid - beautiful inside and out! Charcoal on Fabriano Artistico 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. The parallel palette comes in two sizes. Check this out! 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 ...

Monday, April 26 Figures at ArtServe

Vesna will be our model. I concentrated on tonal drawings in my Thursday class. I would like to stress tonal patterns in this class. Check out the figure drawings of Mark Tennant. http://www.marktennantart.com/drawings_n.html If you look closely, you will see beautiful action gesture lines. Notice how the edges disappear. His drawings are painterly because he identifies bold shape patterns. Check out Jean Marcellino. Here are her roman staue drawings http://www.naje.com/rome/ And beautiful figures. Notice how she incorporates the background to describe the figure. http://www.barebrush.com/gallery.php?artwork_id=2309 John Singer Seargent He saw light so perfectly and depicted it so simply I will reference him forever He draws and paints to perfection Notice how simply he states details with blocks of value Sometimes what seems to be so detailed is the flick of the corner of a square brushhttp://www.johnsingersargent.org/ See you tomorrow morn at about 9:30! It always seems to be raining...
