Color and Lighting /Figure Painting Class -UPDATED w/ In Class Demos

   I'm teaching a painting class for the first since I taught at Mark Westermoe's school in Sherman Oaks back around 2000. The main gist of the class is seeing and recognizing natural color relationships and pushing them. Learning to observe color from life and increasing your repertoire of color combinations....

The purpose of the in class demos is not to show how well I can paint, but to teach an idea or concept. Although these are loose, drawing and structure is always stressed
