Rachel will guide participants through the underlying bony and muscular structures that shape the human face, and how to use this knowledge to create successful portraits. Participants will: Learn the skeletal and muscular anatomy of the head and face, focusing on the forms that influence surface appearance. Explore how anatomical knowledge can add predictability and structure to portrait work. Use the Loomis method to understand proportions and spatial relationships of the head. Practice drawing from a live model, guided by anatomical demonstrations and instruction. Work with anatomical illustrations created by Rachel to support observation and deepen understanding. This workshop is ideal for artists of all levels looking to strengthen their portraits through anatomical insight, technical understanding, and guided practice.

“Painting Music” is an intuitive painting and drawing, open session for everyone. No painting or drawing skills are needed. Move your paint as the music tells you... on a canvas or in your sketchbook. I create a one-hour playlist of the different subjects each week. You may paint one painting or 10 or as much as you want. No rules. You may interpret the music as figurative or abstract, anything goes! The camera of your device will be pointed to the working area, so we can also see the progress, and be inspired. After the session, we look at each other's artwork and talk about the process.
