More about Classes

Summer is heating up ! If you have seen one of my fliers and are looking for more info on classes available - my last posting did not include that individual classes are always available, to be scheduled as best suits your time and finances. My studio at the Shirt Factory is a welcoming and inspiring place to spend some time, away from the other pressures of life.

Summer Classes at Studio #203

To illustrate my classes this season, I've chosen an example of one of my favorite artists, especially for still life, Giorgio Morandi. The schedule of classes is as follows:

Drawing from the Still Life - Four Thursdays, July 7- Aug. 4, 3 - 5 p.m., for both beginners and those wishing to improve their skills, mediums will include charcoal and pastels,

$120.

Painting from the Still Life - Four Saturdays, July 9- Aug. 6, 10 - 12 p.m., for beginners and continuing painters, (though some experience in drawing would be helpful), students may use acrylic or oils (materials will be discussed when applying), $140.

Drawing from the Figure- Four Fridays, July 8- Aug. 5, 3-5 p.m., basic drawing skills and composition of space using the figure,rather than anatomical study, charcoal, $160. (price includes model fees)

More about my teaching philosophy can be accessed on past blogs.

Hope to see you at the studio!

Summer Classes

Summer is around the corner and here are a few offerings from the studio-

Drawing from the Figure-

Using the forms of the figure to learn the basics of line, space, and values in drawing in charcoal. Not an anatomical orientation, but still true to the figure.

6 weekly classes, Sat. 10 -12, June 5 - July 10, $240.

Landscape Painting-

Using acrylic paint to ease the logistics of painting outdoors, we will spend time both on location and in the studio. This class will focus on "framing" the view to create the best composition and building the painting with an awareness of values and spaces. Some drawing experience necessary.

4 weekly classes, Sat. , 9-12, July 17 - Aug. 7, $200.
