Morning at Leo Carillo

Here is a photo of my view at Leo this morning. Painting on site is often a challenge but it is always a joy. Even when a painting is not a success, look where it was created

A few weeks ago, I flew to New Mexico and painted around Santa Fe. What a great part of the world the Southwest is. In the coming weeks I will be traveling up highway 395 to capture the fall leaves around Mono, Mammoth and June lakes. Then in November I’ll be going to Sedona. I love my job!

Drawing Class
(10 weeks beginning January 19, 2012)
Wednesdays 5:30-8:30p or, Thursdays 6-9p

The way we see the world shapes our world-view and how we approach life and our relationships. The ability to “see” is one of the most important aspects of creating a drawing. Developing the art of observation will be the principal aspect of this class. We will be learning to gaze at a subject, discovering relationships between shapes, looking for subtle shifts in light and shadow, composition, perspective and many other tools for creating an accurate rendering of any subject. With graphite in hand, we will be working on class projects, and will also be asked to follow-up each week in your sketch journal.

Fees
$300 for 10-week course.
$45 materials fee (Drawing pad, pencil set, kneaded eraser, text book)

Figure Workshops

Join us on Tuesday nights to draw or paint. We will usually begin with gesture warm-up poses for the first 25 minutes, then 25-minute long poses for remainder of night. Every 3 or 4 weeks, we do a single long pose all night. We start at precisely 7:01 so get there beforehand to set-up and do a meet-n-greet and get a cup of something to drink. Nude models. Drawing horses, drawing boards tables and chairs are provided. If you want to use an easel, bring one.
