It always seems to be raining...

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 ...
