Incorporate figures into your paintings as you learn to place the human form into landscapes and architectural scenes. In this comprehensive class, you will review the planning process used when including figures into a composition and develop sketching skills to capture human gestures. Under the guidance of instructor Jerry Ross, you will explore classical Renaissance painting techniques including “imprimatura” and “sketch transfer” and experiment with “alla prima” painting, a method in which the artist finishes the entire painting in one session. Instruction will be in oils, but students are invited to use the medium of their choice. 8 Sessions.

Wednesdays, October 7-November 11, 6:00pm-9:00pm
Members $60 - Non-Members $75 - Model fee $15

Artist Events at El Corral Restaurant



Where the artists gather....

    Oct 6th at 7 pm


Arts/Visual Discussion of “American Verismo” & Art Critique w/Jerry Ross, weekly art talk, 7-10pm, El Corral Restaurant, 40th & Donald, 485-9792. FREE, dinner not included. Note: Jim Garcia will sing Corridos on acoustic guitar and Leonard Cerino will read poetry. But art discussions will go on during intermissions and painters are more than welcome to bring a work to be placed on the easel for discussion. Come prepared to eat dinner and have a few drinks to lubricate the discourse.

Code word: "Pancho Villa Rides Again!"

Translation: I am missing seeing my painter friends and past students and am hoping you can participate.

We are attempting to consolidate Tuesdays and Thursdays at El Corral for the time being until someone cn be found to coordinate the Thursday night critique event. During Fall and Winter terms, I can only be responsible for one event per week. This is especially true is the MK class is a go.

Cheers!
