Sketchbook
Bill Paarlberg wants you to paint fresher and looser as he demos in watercolor, pen and ink, and pencil in his Your Sketchbook- The Key To Wonder (SA 10). learn how to think and work faster, how to use thumbnails and value studies and how to progress more quickly in our skills and artwork as we explore new media and techniques.
Figure Painting
Figure Painting (SA 7) with Alastair Dacey will teach you a direct method of painting and sketching in oil, working to relate values and colors and finding useful anatomical cues and visual effects to help place your figure on the canvas. Alastair will show you how to simplify the figure into the most important shapes, angles and light effects, giving you a working method for approaching the complex beauties of the human form.
Working With/From a Master
As Picasso so famously said, “Good artists borrow, great artists steal!” Working With/From a Master (SA 4) with Tom Glover encourages you to steal colors, brushstrokes and ideas, diving into a body of work that has influenced you and working in the artistic medium of your role model's choice.
