2.20
DRAWING FOUNDATIONS; LEARNING TO SEE
Wednesdays 9 - noon
Beginners


Fall in love with drawing. You will learn to see like an artist. I introduce the elements and principles of design and visual perception. You will learn about line, value, perspective and composition. This class is designed to change the way you look at the world and at art. Great music - very meditative.


2.32
SEEING - KNOWING - DRAWING
Intermediate - Advanced
Wednesdays 12:30 - 3:30


This class will stress principles (how we manipulate the elements) of drawing. You will create finished pieces and may also work on your personal projects. We will experiment with materials and push the renderings into polished finished artwork. Learn to evaluate your work through regular critiques.


3.28
LIFE DRAWING
Beginning - Advanced
Thursdays 12:30 - 3:30


Learn and practice drawing the nude figure. Each class will have a handout on anatomy, gesture or style. I have been studying Robert Beverly Hale's lectures. He encourages you to, "become aware of the anatomical forms in terms of the elements and principles of drawing and composition. In other words, what to do with them." Each student will receive individual attention.


3.25 
ALL - MEDIA PAINTING
Beginning - Intermediate
Friday 9 - 12:30


Learn color, technique and composition through weekly demos, critiques and handouts. Learn from other artists projects. I will set up a still life or work from your own reference material. 


3.26
ALL - MEDIA PAINTING
Intermediate - Advanced
Friday 12:30 - 3:30


Individual and group instruction in composition, color choices and techniques. You will be challenged and encouraged to develop your unique artistic voice.

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...

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 ...
