Weekly Figure Painting Class

Wednesdays, 1 to 4pm

Starting January 13, I will be teaching a weekly figure painting class at The School of Light and Color in Fair Oaks, Ca. This class will be very similar to the classes I used to conduct at my old studio, with one important difference. I'm a better painter and instructor now than I was two years ago! If you liked my classes before, you'll love this one.

In this on-going class we will paint the figure, both clothed and nude, with emphasis on design, drawing, value-structure, and depiction of form. We will discuss all aspects of representational figure painting, with demos, critiques and individual instruction. This is an oil painting class. Some experience highly recommended.

If you would like to attend, please contact School of Light and Color to register.

Figure Drawing Intensive; A Two-Day Workshop

Tuition: $250 + $20 model fee

This two-day workshop will focus on figure drawing in the tradition of the Italian Renaissance. Emphasis will be on capturing the gesture and depicting form, using charcoal, sanguine chalk, and conte. Working with short poses, we will have in-depth discussions on the relationship between light and form, and will learn about short-hand techniques and mark-making strategies which are applicable not only to sketching with dry media, but to painting as well.  Demos, critiques and individual instruction.

Please contact the School of Light and Color to register for this workshop.

Amador Wine Country En Plein Air; A Three-Day Workshop

September 10 - 12, 2010

Tuition: $325, locations TBA

Come paint with me in the gorgeous Amador Wine Country! Nestled in the foothills of the Sierras, Amador is one of the best kept secrets of Northern California wine regions. Because it’s not well known like Napa or Sonoma, it is relatively quiet and not so commercialized. But the views rival any postcard shots of the more publicized wine countries. Come see for yourself and paint your heart out!

This three-day workshop will cover the process of painting en plein air, from start to finish. We will discuss materials, design strategies with a particular emphasis on composing with simple structures, color strategies, brush work, and overall orchestration.  Painting the landscape en plein air is no easy task, but can be very rewarding. We can minimize the frustration by simplifying the problems and solving them logically. We will have plenty of demos and individual instruction, as well as constructive, objective critiques to help you get to the next level!
