In this session, I will show you different ways to evaluate and correct your drawing without ruining your initial transparent layers. Our Yosemite Falls subject matter is quite complex and an excellent opportunity to train our “artist’s eye”. See you then!

Photos can be a great source of inspiration in the studio. However, they do have their limitations. Learn tips and tricks to evaluate your photo reference to glean all the important information needed to create a painting full of color and light.

For this month’s workshop, I will be demonstrating my process to create a large finished oil painting. Project 4 will be building on the foundation of our work from the previous session.

Use whichever medium you are comfortable with (if you do not have oil paints, acrylic would be a great choice to follow along).

See you then!

For this month’s workshop, I will be demonstrating my process to create a large finished oil painting. Project 3 will be transferring our drawing to the larger canvas and laying out the foundational layers.

If you prefer to use a smaller canvas, an 11”x14” or so will be sufficient. Use whichever medium you are comfortable with (if you do not have oil paints, acrylic would be a great choice to follow along). I will be using a stretched canvas 20”x30”, my water mixable oil paints and hog hair bristle brushes.

For this month’s workshop, I will be demonstrating my process to create a large finished oil painting. Project 2 will be creating a small “study” to work out the design basics to prepare for the larger canvas.

Use whichever medium you are comfortable with (if you do not have oil paints, acrylic would be a great choice to follow along). I will be using a small canvas panel (approx 6”x8”), my water mixable oil paints and hog hair bristle brushes.

Our first project for this month’s featured workshop will be focused on drawing. So have that photo you’ve always wanted to paint, your sketchbook and favorite drawing tools ready.

I will be using a medium sized sketchbook, an assortment of pencils, erasers, tracing paper or transparency paper (with wet erase pen, either option will be fine). See you then!

Our first community creative session! Urban Sketching demonstrations and Q&A.

Urban Sketching is the concept of drawing and documenting everyday life. It’s loose playful style allows us to release the need for perfection and enjoy the process of observation and connecting with the world around us. This is the perfect medium for keeping an art journal!

In this workshop we are going to cover some specific tips about how to draw people, plants, and buildings.

The purpose of this class is to teach you the basic skills in seeing and drawing, giving you the tools to express yourself using your own unique style.
