Another commission, Open(ish) Studios and Fall Classes

View this email in your browser

Dear <<First Name>>,
I just finished another commission - "On the Quinnipiac" - set in a popular riverside park in New Haven, CT. This painting and another commission I finished in August will be on public display soon! You can check out my studies for these pieces and talk process by making a one-on-one studio visit or schedule a Virtual Tour as part of City Wide Open Studios this weekend October 10-11.

I have two fall classes coming up- a hybrid plein air/virtual class at the 92nd Street Y (register today!) and a studio workshop at the NYSA. I also invite you to visit the Art Students League Instructor show to check out the wonderful work of my colleagues at the League. I plan on returning to the League to teach in January.

Best wishes for this fall. I hope we all are able to stay physically healthy and keep our heads together too. Remember: stay physically distant but socially close! And wear a mask! And vote!

Eric

Learn to develop the initial inspiration for a landscape drawing into a more developed composition through a combination of on site plein air and online studio sessions.

Interiors: Still Life and Perspective in Charcoal and Pastel

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.
