The cost of this class includes model fees. 

The body in all it's complexity, can be expressed in a single mark.

The presence or sense of something can be pulled into being when we work to get that something right.

The gesture or fall of a wrist can tell the story.

This three day workshop will engage our efforts in using solid techniques and perceptual elements and expand our ability to translate what we see, through the medium of drawing, oil painting and the body.

Each day will be an integration of drawing, oil sketches and satellite work around one min painting, that will culminate on the last day.

The workshop will be energetic and fun and open to all.

Please bring your tenacity.
