2016 Workshop.  3 months of drawing and painting in Bruge, Belgium!!!!

I will be teaching a 3 month atelier workshop in the beautiful city of Bruge, Belgium this March, April and May 2016.   Students will get a good grasp of the whole method behind atelier trainging from blcok-in drawing, modeling "form" value,  color studies, and painting.  This is the best way to get a overall look into what a full atelier training is like.  Come study with me and see this beautiful city this spring!

2015 workshops coming up!

March 20-22, 2015

Two Color Study workshops
Still life Color Study and
Figure Color Study
Townsend Atelier, Chattanooga TN

A color study is a mini version of your final painting done prior to starting a final painting. Students will complete an accurate drawing and small oil sketch in this three day workshop.  Discover how a color study is a great way to work out decision with composition, background and color harmony prior to starting your final piece.  Making these important decisions prior to your final painting can save hours of complications in your final work.  Plus, these color  studies make great little painting sketches on their own!

Im Teaching three different workshops coming up this summer!

Townsend Atelier, Chattanooga TN

 Portrait Block-In & Color Study 

10am-5pm

Angela Cunningham has become one of our regular visiting instructors and we are thrilled that she will be joining us to teach a three day workshop  this summer.  Portrait sketches and color studies are a great way to develop your decisive decision making skills.  Working from a model, this portrait workshop will take you through all of the steps, from learning how to draw the portrait and how to choose the right colors to accurately capture a likeness on canvas in oil paint.

The first half of the workshop will be focused on drawing from observation in graphite. Emphasis will be placed on practicing the visual tools of blocking-in.  Students will develop their measuring and shape-seeing abilities. Then the second half of the workshop students will finish with a Color Study.  Students will focus on using form and color to create a 3 dimensional likeness of the model.  Angela will cover the understanding of hue, value and chroma. Organizing a palette as well as a mindset will enforce good controlled decisions and habits that will result in skills to accurately draw and paint what you see.  Model fee is included in the cost of the workshop.  There will be a one hour lunch break each day. Lunch is on your own.

Cloud Castle Art Studio

 Still Life & Portrait Painting 

Sketches or color studies are a great way to develop your decision making skills. In both these classes, still life and portrait, we will use the first hour of class focusing on block-in. We will draw directly with paint on the canvas. Then we’ll spend the next four hours of class focusing on form and color to create a 3 dimensional likeness of the subject.  Comparative measuring, angles, and alignments, along with hue, value and chroma will be discussed. Organizing a palette as well as a mindset will enforce good controlled decisions and habits that will result in skills to accurately draw and paint what you see.

Each day we will start with a new canvas (average size being 8” x 6”). Having a different subject each day will cultivate an understanding of how to use an open palette and making new color decisions based on the subject matter.  It’s recommended for this class that students have some prior drawing skills.http://cloudcastleartstudio.com

PORTRAIT DRAWING AND STRUCTURE

In this class students draw the Portrait from observation, in graphite. Strong emphasis is placed on accuracy of Block-in and Form Modeling. It is in the understanding and practice of the visual tools of blocking-in that students develop their comparative-measuring and shape-seeing abilities.

WORKSHOPS COMING UP:

North West Fine Art Studio
Vancouver, CANADA 
February, 24th - 28th, 2014
Figure/Portrait workshop - $700.00


 Class Description: One week Portrait Painting or Drawing

The first day of the workshop will cover the understanding of 2-dimensional block-in using pencil on paper. Having an accurate block-in is the most important stage to drawing and painting. We will work with analyzing and improving our way of seeing to be more accurate to life. Students will learn to see flat shapes (mass drawing) to become more visually abstract with their thought process. Comparative measuring, angles, and alignments as necessary tools to use in a systematical approach will also be covered.

On the second day students will learn how to do an oil transfer of their drawing to canvas, as well as how to complete a one day color study. The rest of the week we will use the understanding of hue, value and chroma to paint 3-Dimensional Form. Organizing a palette as well as a mindset will enforce good controlled decisions and habits that will result in skills to accurately draw and paint what you see.

summer 2014 workshop at Angel Academy of Art in Florence Italy!!

I am excited to announce I will be teaching a summer workshop at the Angel Academy of Art in Florence Italy. Not only is the Angel Academy one of the most influential schools in classical realism but it is set among one of the most beautiful Renaissance cities in Italy. Florence is one of my most favorite cities because among every corner there is the inspiration of art history, from some of the greatest works of art to the beautiful historical buildings and cobble stone streets. It really is like walking back in time. You can feel the passion and creative souls from times past. Its a true Honor to get a chance to teach the methods of my classes in a place thats been such an influence in my own work. This will be an experience not to miss!
