Long pose figure drawing class

I'm really enjoying teaching my long pose figure drawing class.  It's been very nice to have time to work slowly and with great focus on the first pose of the class.  It's also a great group of students!

I'm demoing and drawing along side the students.

Here is my drawing after 3 sessions.

New paintings

Tree study

Here is a tree study from this afternoon.  I love drawing trees at this time of year, their skeletons are so very beautiful and the light plays around their form in such a lovely way!

On a portrait painting note, my oil portrait painting class starts March 14th in Victoria.   There is still room in the class!  All the info is here.

Recent Demo

Here are a few photos from a demo I did for the Federation of Canadian Artists, Victoria Chapter last week.  It was a short 2 hour meeting so around 1:35 minutes of painting time.  When I'm talking and painting the time seems to fly by even faster then normal.
