Art Classes at Atelier

Began first day at Atelier Art classes today. Model Rebekah will be in the same pose for five hours a session for five weeks.  Wow! I am excited about improving my drawing techniques and my painterly techniques. I haven't had a lot of life drawing tuition or painting tuition so I'm hoping this will be the big break I need to become a better artist, So i can paint without going mad about what happens next. Instead of thinking, what colour goes with what and how do you do that? i'll know. or will i? maybe its a guessing game to every artist?
After a short warm up of drawing (which we missed) Rebekah was put into pose and arranged. Scott showed us how to get started then Nick gave us some techniques for 'enveloping' the model and begin structuring the body. we spent at least two hours making marks where the body parts go and the distant between each other. by the end of session one, we had the outline of the body and face. It takes a lot more time in a long pose, but worth it. Looking forward to seeing how my drawings and paintings look in one year.

    About Monica

    I am a yoga teacher, author and artist.
    I earn my income through teaching yoga, painting, and creating books. I specialise in supporting children, schools, and families to grow into their best selves.
    I would appreciate a review and feedback so that I can continue to grow and improve my work.
    My husband and I share four beautiful daughters, and seven awesome grandchildren. We live north of Brisbane, Australia. Our next step is to explore the world, continue to connect with our family, and to serve wherever we can.
    You can follow me on Teacherspayteachers, Facebook or Instagram. I hope to meet you on one of my travels. I am happy to do free talks for schools and parent groups.
    Love.
    Monica.
