Drawing and Painting Utah Landscapes
What are the elements that make up a good landscape painting, and how do we go about it? With these questions in mind, both the beginner as well as the experienced student will explore the art of landscape painting through discussion, hands on indoor and outdoor work, and the study of light and shadow. Various methods and materials will be discussed as we work from life and reference material. Students will begin with drawing, and later move into painting. We will work outside in the Park City area, looking for subjects that spark our interest. All levels of ability are welcome in this class.
Wake & Draw the Figure VI
Unwind from the work week and enjoy your Saturday morning in the studio. This class is back by popular demand! Grab an easel or a drawing horse, bring a pad of paper, your preferred drawing medium, and your creativity. A nude and/or draped model will be present to pose. Students will work with the model to communicate positions, quick draw exercises, or extended time draws, etc., which will allow students to continue their study of the figure. There is no instructor during this open studio session, so it is suggested that students who register have figure drawing experience. Wake & Draw is meant to be a creative meeting place for artistic people to share their techniques and skills in a community setting. Come by and try it! Space is limited to 10 students, so please register in advance to reserve your space.
