Art Classes/Workshops

     

LIFE DRAWING

Draw from the model and learn the methods of the masters.  The first half of class will consist of short poses to seize the figure quickly and to capture the rhythmic action of the pose.  The second half of the class will be a sustained pose carried on in the remaining classes.  This gives students the opportunity to learn how to finish a drawing incorporating form, anatomy, beauty of line and "sculpting" the body from within.

PORTRAIT DRAWING AND PAINTING

Paint and draw from the live model.  Emphasis will be on shapes, values and color.  Students will be encouraged to establish an accurate likeness.  Drawing using the sight-size or comparative method will be used.  All levels welcome.

PAINTING THE FIGURE EN PLEIN AIR

Work from a clothed figure outdoors in a landscape.  This will be a fun exciting class.  Step-by-step process with brief daily demonstrations.  Enjoy the outdoor plein air experience with the figure.

These are continuous classes/workshops held in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.  Please contact me for more information.

DRAWING CO-OP

Paint or draw from some of the top models and dancers from the Twin Cities area.  Three five minute poses at the beginning and one long term the rest of the session.

No instruction.  $20/session or $60/for four.
