Painting From Life

There is literally no other practice for an artist more powerful than to paint from life. Please look at the second blog I've started about Painting Every Day. I am following in the tradition of Duane Keiser to produce a painting a day.

The following are block-ins. I'm working on three small paintings at a time. The reasons are both technical and pragmatic. At some point, the paint becomes too wet to paint into and needs to set-up, or become "tacky"; the other is to change focus when a subject becomes too complicated or boring.

Art Classes in Tucson

Susan and Greg just finished remodeling the most awesome studio space for classes in the same complex I have my studio.

I am now accepting registration from folks interested in taking a class in Beginning Drawing or Beginning Painting. Check out my page on Classes.

Without overstating things or exaggeration, I can teach anyone how to draw.
