Charcoal studies (heavily influenced by my friends Mark Westermoe, and Karl Gnass).
Though I never studied with Fred Fixler, I was heavily influenced by his students and by watching
him from Brandes Art Institute where he chose me to be his first color painting teacher back in 1983 (later Fred left and formed California Art Institute). Heavy thanks to Mark Westermoe (whom I took too many classes from), Greg Pro, Morgan, Glen Orbik (who I still need to study with...), and Laurel Blechman...who's father suffered through Fred's really bad cheap side. The man was a character, that's for sure |
