SPRING Friday Art Class Starts May 11th

4 Nudes 8 Weeks

This session we will be spent testing our painting metal, and learning to trust our intuition.  Working for two weeks with each of our 4 models, we will compose our paintings through a couple of quick thumbnails, and dive into the business of painting.  We will begin by distilling the models movements into the principle forms that make up the figure.  The emphases will be on establishing a strong value range early in the painting.  4 paintings, 4 models, 8 weeks.  Bring your game face.

Dates: May 11th – July 6th (no class 5/25)
Fridays from 9:00am – Noon
Cost: $290 + $50 Model Fee
Location: Talent Studios – Talent, OR

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

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!
