-Will be teaching how to understand the underlying curves and gestures that bring figure drawings to life. He will also be explaining his approach to light and shade in teaching how to create luminosity and volume.

Garin Baker

-Will be teaching one-on-one instruction as well as teacher demonstrations. The model will be posed outside in order to take advantage of the complexities of the changing light. Students will have the option of creating several figurative plein air painting studies. They will learn and expand their knowledge of warm and cool palette methodology, perspective and color. Goals for the workshop include a broader creative base, strengthened fundamentals, new ways of seeing and radical artistic growth.
