Learn the basic perspective and structural drawing skills you need to render an interior scene with furniture and still life objects. Students can work entirely in charcoal for the duration of the workshop or try developing their drawing in pastel on the second day. An introduction to color observation and color mixing with pastels will be included.
The class will be taught through demonstration, short lectures and individual coaching.
Note that additional safety protocols will be in place for this class.

Students will learn the basics of composition and perspective as they translate the outdoor world into a graphic image through the process of drawing. Class will be taught outside on location with short demonstrations and individual coaching. In inclement weather, class will meet in the studio at 92nd Street Y or online.
I am taking a sabbatical this summer from teaching to focus on a new commission. I look forward to my classes in the fall-either online or in the studio! Thank you to all the folks who joined me in my Zoom classes in quarantine.
In the fall I’ll be teaching “Fundamentals of Drawing” at the Art Students League, “Perspective Drawing” at the 92nd Street Y, and a new class “Interiors: Still Life, Perspective and the Figure in Charcoal and Pastel” at the New York School of the Arts.
To keep up-to-date about dates, times, online/studio status of these classes and for registration info, sign up for my Mailing List and I’ll send out an email with all the info when I have it.
I look forward to seeing everyone in the fall!

Join me on a live interactive Zoom tour of my studio in Erector Square in New Haven. Get a sneak peek at a new group of paintings I am working on and see the paintings in different stages from initial sketch to completion. I will discuss my artistic goals with this new body of work and my conceptual and technical struggles. Learn about the process and tools I use to put together a painting of a big group of figures using only my imagination and a couple models—including structural drawing, photography and maquettes.
