In preparation of Color Matters, I am offering an in-depth view of what drawing encompasses. We will use earthy colors like Ochre, Burnt Sienna, middle grey or whatever is available in your color box.

In this series, with home work, I will discuss a certain color and its complementary. As a subject I will take a small mundane object, for example a vegetable or fruit, which you can draw for half an hour and finish the next day.

During a whole month you will receive a video and small talk into your e-mail-box every day, with home work. This is especially designed for busy people who want to be inspired to do something every day but cannot seem to find the time to do so.

In this series we will look at various ways to prepare for a life model class which could be organized through your local art Center. Ask for it or invite me to give a three day workshop. There are many issues to work on before you are ready for the real sessions.

Based upon the Book of Betty Edwards “drawing from the right side of the brain” I give my own version of drawing classes in which we establish a thorough understanding of looking through the creative side of our brain. Everything is meant to learn to see better.
