This drawing demonstration will include the practical principles of seeing & drawing the overall visual impression, relational drawing, rendering ‘lost and found’ edges, and composing in visual order. These methods follow how we naturally see our world, creating a more relaxed and inviting way of drawing. Making the transition from the idea of drawing “objects” to drawing the entire visual field with all the interesting relationships, values, edge quality, learning what not to draw as well as what to articulate in detail is a very different way of seeing and drawing. Watch and learn, ask questions, and enjoy the exciting process of this natural way of seeing and drawing! Designed for artists of all levels, this workshop will be broadcast live via Zoom.

Students in this online assemblage art course will master the foundational techniques of mixed-media construction from their home studios. Participants will develop a sharp eye for transforming everyday household or discarded objects into cohesive three-dimensional narratives, learning to evaluate items for both their structural integrity and their symbolic meaning. Beyond physical fabrication, students will cultivate critical thinking and visual literacy by actively participating in live Zoom critiques. By the conclusion of the workshop, learners will possess a portfolio of finished sculptures alongside the technical and creative problem-solving skills necessary to independently share, critique, and execute complex multi-material art projects.

Copying from masterworks is a time-honored form of artistic instruction and an excellent means of studying the art of portraiture in particular. Hone your oil painting skills using both alla prima (direct painting) techniques and indirect methods of building form and color through layers. Master painting references from artists such as Paxton, DeCosta, and Manet will be carefully selected to cover foundational paint-handling techniques, composition, color theory, and mixing flesh tones using a limited palette, as well as painterly methods for depicting the structure of the head, facial features, and hair. This class offers a fascinating way to internalize the techniques and aesthetic decisions of successful artists and incorporate them into your own artistic expression.
