Life-drawing and portraiture with an esteemed artist and excellent teacher
- Life-drawing - "What do the students learn?" "Everything!"
|
 |
•Examples & costs
 - An experience that evokes Paris
Ten-second poses to seize movement and contour, 20-minute poses for volume, shadow, perspective, foreshortening, very quick exercises for expression... participants on all levels learn about drawing. And seeing.
|
|
|
|
Brief exercises (3-5 minutes) to learn to capture pose, light, expression... since different people pose, this event is also a way to bring a group together.
|
- Would a visit to Paris be the time to have a portrait painted?
|
|
|
• Rapid, precise brushstrokes used like scalpels seize subjects' deepest essence.
|
|
• "Sitting for a portrait is a ritual that encourages discovery of the self."

Art-related activities for kids (clay, crayons) are ready. Children pose for as long as they can - 15 minutes? The normal hour it takes for each person is broken into comfortable, happy moments. Since the scéance is for adults too, it includes a picnic and champagne.

 - Event at the American Chamber of Commerce
By painting events as they take place, or a bride, an honored guest or the whole group as the public watches, the artist (who works quickly), makes the act of painting a performance in itself.
