ArtServe Thursday Class
Goodbye my dear friends!
We will draw conflicting elements and discuss the power in their placement.
Then - off to lunch!
It has been my pleasure to have you in my class.
Thank you for all of your support.


I have decided that this will be the last of these classes
My schedule has eaten me up - drained my studio time.


We will keep in touch.


Here is the link I promised about the high school golden mean art.
Very interesting.

I went to see "The Kings Speech" this weekend
Each scene followed the golden mean. 
Notice how the screen has been composed-
someone sketches each shot!


See you next week!

"Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad," Salvador Dali

"Thought must come first" ~ Odd Nerdrum

"Moonfairy" Marcia @ CSMART Hour sketch Come join us Thursday evenings 6:30 - 8:30 Open studio ~ no instruction "You are about to die. There are two paintings on the wall, A Rembrandt and a Mondrian. which is the one you wish to see last? Live, love, and make art like that moment; as if you were about to die."~ Odd Nerdrum American Artist Magazine's October edition features an article about Odd Nerdrum. The article discusses Nerdrum's work as philosophical allegories. Always intriguing work with spiritual undertones. Reminiscent of Rembrandt. Nerdrum uses only four colors but he premixes the palette and tubes the colors he uses in his paintings. Curiously, he mixes blue from mars black and titanium white. Check out this magazine - October American Artist.  The Nerdrum Institute Beginning Drawing Class ~ Perspective and the Fifth perspective by Rudolf Stussi Very cool stuff.
