Do not fail, as you go on, to draw something every day, for no matter how little it is, it will be well worth while, and it will do you a world of good."

PAINTING DEMONSTRATION

This is an excellent and interesting painting demonstration by Zhaoming Wu.  Notice how he begins the painting, in particular,  with the "envelope" to the "block-in" to the development of the painting beginning with massing in major shapes representing shadows and light.

SATURDAY ATELIER STUDENT WORK

We are working on our final piece for the Saturday Atelier.  This is a 6 week long pose.  Starting with a good drawing, moving into the color-wash and finally, the opaque painting.  We have an excellent model and we're getting some outstanding drawings.  It's going to be exciting to see the end result!
