If you struggle to bring color into to your oil paintings, or if you’re interested in bringing some stronger colors and vibrancy to your work, this is the workshop for you! In this color forward approach to oils, we’ll talk about color theory, and spend the day experimenting with what happens when we let ourselves go loose, starting with color straight out of the paint tube.

This one-day workshop is designed for people with some familiarity with oils, and looking for a way to enliven your work. There will be a special emphasis on bringing color into portraits, but other references are also welcome. Working from your chosen reference photo, and using a clear, step-by-step approach, we will cover laying out expressive color, capturing the reference, and using the medium to further shape, refine, and adjust your paintings to more lifelike finished products, all the while maintaining color. Demonstrations and individualized feedback guide students through the process from start to finish.

This 6 week artistic anatomy course is designed for people who want to learn about drawing the figure through the lens of artistic anatomy. Artistic anatomy is the study of anatomy crucial to the artist when depicting the human form, developing an understanding of underlying musculature and bone structures that inform the outward appearance of the figure. Each week, students will focus on a different part of the body, studying the torso, pelvis, shoulder girdle, etc individually, and combining it all together at the end. 

Some familiarity with drawing the human form is helpful, but not required. Each week will start with a lecture, followed by drawing from a live model. There will be take-home practices and studies provided, but not required. We will cover the fundamentals of artistic anatomy, giving each student a solid introduction to the structural anatomy and proportion needed to draw the human form. Demonstrations and individualized feedback guide students through the course.

In this mini-workshop, students will learn a clear, step-by-step approach to ensure that their drawings and paintings look like the model every single time. The linear drawing of the placements / proportions / gesture / perspective can be very challenging, but we don’t need to cross our fingers and leave it up to chance. With this straightforward system, students will learn a foolproof method that will ensure accuracy, confidence, and speed in their pursuit of a linear drawing that looks and feels just like the model before moving in with value or color. Workshop has been expanded to include an extra hour and will include exercises with two different models.

Students may opt to use graphite or charcoal for this workshop

Price includes model fees.

Quill pens are simple in concept, but they require a large learning curve to get over; and even then you have to practice regularly to maintain consistency. Summon your inner David Goggins and join me for a workout you will not forget. Remember: failing is fun.
