Saturday Life Drawing

Date: Saturday, April 12    
Time: 10:30A-1:30P
Fee: $10 (cash only please)
Level: Beginner +

Join us for a special Saturday life drawing session in the studio and in the galleries on April 12th from 10:30am to 1:30pm. Artists will have the option to draw from two models – one model will pose nude in the studio*, and one model will pose for portraiture (clothed) in the gallery. Drawing from a live model is a valuable experience for every artist interested in understanding the human form. These sessions are not formal classes but rather a gathering of artists of different skill levels, creating art together. We hope you can join us for this special life drawing session!

*Artists under the age of 18 are only allowed to draw clothed models & will be prohibited from entering the studio when a nude model is present.

Willow River Forest in Oils

Instructor: Steve Wysocki
Date: Thursday, April 17        
Time: 9:30A-4:30P
Fee: $85
Level: Intermediate +

Join Stephen Wysocki as he guides students through creating his painting Willow River Forest in oil paint. Students will explore the process of painting with oils through studying color mixing, paint application and values, without the stress of determining the painting composition. Most students will finish the painting by the end of class.

A seasoned artist, Stephen Wysocki utilizes the bold application of color to convey movement and excitement in his pieces. “I am always looking to create an atmosphere in my work. I believe color can stand alone to convey a mood in a piece of work. I like to explore an image by playing with the many warm and cool tones.”

This class includes all oil painting materials; however, if you like to use an apron or gloves, please bring them with you as they will not be provided.  There will be a break for lunch.
