Cool Artists of the week

Catherine Kehoe
You can learn so much by just looking at these paintings. Catherine uses the least amount of detail but knows her value notan. Great compositions and color choices. Very very powerful.
She is holding a workshop this summer in Tuscany. Very tempting.
Look at her wonderful drawings! Always well designed!

Hagit Barkai
Emotion. Simple suggestions of form. Look Look Look!

James Linkous
It is what James leaves out that makes the image more powerful.
Life drawing students - think twice, draw once.

Katy Stone
Contemporary drawing in 3-D. One of my passions.
Katy uses dura lar with paint and drawing. Cut outs that utilize light to make shadow part of the drawing experience.

See you tomorrow.
Bring your imagination!

SINGAPORE BIENNALE 2016

Lucky me. I arrived in Singapore to find their Biennale in the Singapore Art Museum and other Museums and institutions around town. It has been a great introduction to the Southeast Asian geography and culture. Many visits have pulled me out of an extreme state of jet lag and whetted my appetite to learn more about Southeast Asia. Singapore Biennale AN ATLAS OF MIRRORS - AT ONCE, MANY WORLDS "In charting our way around the world, humankind has relied on instruments of vision as well as navigation. Atlases map and mirror our journeys of discovery and often make visible more than just physical terrain; driven by our needs and desires, they embolden us to venture into the unknown. From our coordinates in Southeast Asia, the arc of our shared histories encompasses East and South Asia.

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 ...
