General classes at the studio run the gamut of an artist's sources created in the studio (ie. still life and figurative classes from life). Here are some of the examples:


Portraiture - my focus in teaching portraiture is concentrated on the speed and accuracy a portrait painter must learn to capture a likeness, match the complex colors of the human face and to work entirely from life to learn the intricate subtleties necessary to paint a good portrait like the masters.

Figure drawing classes focus on drawing the figure from life quickly and accurately. Students will work with charcoal to create dynamic renderings of form, light and value necessary to form essential building blocks required by all professional artists.

Still life classes teach you how to create a composition and how to paint dramatic still life paintings using objects around you. Students will learn form, value and light along with color relationships by training your eyes to see essential elements necessary for a successful painting.

Still life drawing is the nuts and bolts of any artistic pursuit. The workshop will focus on creating a successful composition and how to use value relationships to heighten the drama of a drawing. Lessons learned in this course serve as a foundation for all artistic mediums.
