Friday Art Class – Refining the Gesture, Painting the Nude

editor — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 01:05:22 +0000

This session we will be spent studying the dynamic nude. Working from a live model, we will begin by distilling the models movements into the principle forms that make up the figure. From these gestures, the class will refine the figure, observing the way cool and warm light play off the form.

The classes will begin with quick painted or drawn sketches and then move toward more finished studies wrapping the term up with several longer poses.

Be ready to use your paints boldly. Vivid color, strong contrast, dynamic compositions and an extra dose of passion will be required throughout the 8 week term. Cost: $290 + Model fee

Friday Art Class – 8 PAINTINGS, 8 WEEKS

editor — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 07:22:51 +0000

Gabriel’s next 8-week session to start on Friday, May 6th, 2011

This session will focus on _the spring still life_. Working with fresh
fruits, flowers, and vegetables, we will each construct simple still lifes.
Each still life will be drawn and painted within the three hour session.
The focus will be on shaking off some of the winter doldrums and making
quick and deliberate paintings full of spring zest. Fire it up people.

Be ready to paint on the first day with a canvas or board (8 for the
session) in any size (8″ x 10″ to 14″ x 18″), and bring a fresh
fruit,vegetable, or flower that you will love. This will be a fast and
furious 8 weeks and you will be a better painter at the end of it.
Guaranteed.

As an added bonus for this term, I will be spewing forth any tidbits of
artistic gold I have gleaned from this years _Portrait Society of America_
conference in Atlanta.

Paint Tuff!

The Figure in Oil Workshop

editor — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:06:15 +0000

This workshop, with award-winning painter Gabriel Lipper, will begin by focusing on getting a solid start with attention paid to drawing and form of the model. Then, the instructor will move into application of values and colors on the form. Demo and lecture time will allow students to glean from Gabriel’s years of experience. Students will be instructed in the Alla Prima or Premier Coup (or direct) painting style, which allows the painter to stay constantly present with each brushstroke applied with the intention of letting it stand in the picture as part of the final statement. This workshop will allow for each student to work at their own pace and receive the instruction they need making it appropriate for painters of every skill level.
