Student Works From 2015, Part 1

January 11, 2016

As we say hello to 2016, let’s acknowledge and show respect to the many students who have worked so diligently in 2015. Here are some highlights from some of the drawing and painting classes last year. Thank you one and all! This is the first grouping of work: (Calling all students/if you see your work … More Student Works From 2015, Part 1

Color Fundamentals/Pencil, 1.2

November 20, 2014

UsingĀ a complementary color palette: the first method in which we bring in an additional color to affect the way color can change the value (darkness and light) of a single color. In this case, the chosen “dominant” color, that is the overall most important color of the still life. For this project, we are using … More Color Fundamentals/Pencil, 1.2

Color Fundamentals/Pastel, 2.1

March 20, 2014

This is the second part of a color course I designed and teach at The Drawing Studio in Tucson, Arizona. I sequence lessons that cross reference media, and for the students, can build a solid core understanding of how to work with color. In this lesson, my pastel group is continuing their studies using a … More Color Fundamentals/Pastel, 2.1

Color Fundamentals/Pastel, 1.5

February 20, 2014

Thinking of skiing – the winter olympics – and sunny Arizona, where our classes are. Today: The Ski Boot, drawn using analogous colors (colors adjacent to each other on the color wheel). An opportunity to look at reflections, how to draw gray and black surfaces using color, and how to select an analogous palette. We … More Color Fundamentals/Pastel, 1.5

Color Fundamentals/Pastel, 1.4

February 10, 2014

In this lesson, we will continue our study of color harmonies by using a tetrad, which is two pairs of complementary colors. Designated by the light great rectangle on the back of the color wheel, this “rectangular” tetrad uses complements that are one step away from each other. The colors in this case are red-violet, … More Color Fundamentals/Pastel, 1.4

Color Fundamentals/Pastel, 1.3

February 3, 2014

In this lesson we are going to use what’s known as a “split-complementary” harmony. A dominant color is selected (a prominent color in the still life): in this case yellow-green (the color of our succulent still-life subject). The two split complements are included in the harmony (the two colors located on either side of yellow-green’s … More Color Fundamentals/Pastel, 1.3

Color Fundamentals/Pastel, 1.2

January 26, 2014

In week two, we are drawing a full page, closer investigation of using complementary colors – while rendering a form in space. Generally, I advise my students to draw a form that is 2/3 in light, 1/3 in shadow. This example is the exact opposite, and was what was available to me during class time! … More Color Fundamentals/Pastel, 1.2

Color Fundamentals/Pastel, 1.1

January 19, 2014

The Winter session has started, and we are beginning a color studies sequence, using pastels on white and tinted paper. We’re also using the 72 half stick Faber-Castell brand pastels – lots of good ranges of colors and values. The tennis ball. How many ways can you draw it, in how many media?! Working in … More Color Fundamentals/Pastel, 1.1

Drawing With Color 2.4

August 17, 2013

This post comes slightly out of sequence with the others, but was a valuable lesson in drawing orchids in pastel. Just a little catch up with some of the later classes taught earlier in the summer. There is a lovely delicacy and freshness to the structure of the orchid, a structure that lends itself to … More Drawing With Color 2.4

Painting Boot Camp: Classical

July 20, 2013

  Oversized gourds are beautiful when bathed in a directional overhead light, and we’re going to use them as subject matter for a two session painting intensive, studying the classical method (6 hours in total). First we start with a tonal drawing. Here’s mine using a gourd that had the light placed slightly differently:   … More Painting Boot Camp: Classical
