Open Studio Sundays

2 hour classes

limited to groups of 6

overflow will meet at another time

Dates

Jan 15 - Mar 25

These are sessions where you can come to work on whatever you want in a small group format; drawing, collage, painting, mask making, etc.

If you want to learn drawing I can give you basic exercises....the same with color.

My particular interest is in helping people to find a way to make their work personal and meaningful. Skils are important up to a point, but mainly as a foundation that makes it possible to take the next step: expression.

I plan to introduce a life drawing class as soon as there is enough interst. I know from personal experience that life drawing is an essential part of an artist's education, whether or not he or she does "figurative" work.

The reason for this is the quickening of perception that comes from active seeing and responding to the changes that life drawing presents. In this sense, life drawing for artists is like gym workouts for atheletes. It promotes mental acuity and visual awareness. I have taught life drawing for more than 15 years and look forward to having a class in my studio.
