<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Working from a live model, this 2-day intensive covers the classical figure drawing approach that begins with a simple abstraction of the figure, refined through conceptual models of light, anatomy and a guiding aesthetic that finds beauty in truthful expression. Students will learn drawing techniques that improve accuracy as well as how to utilize value to create the illusion of three-dimensional space. Carol’s artwork will be displayed in the Alliance for the Arts September exhibit </span><a href="http://www.artinlee.org/event/modern-atelier-portrait-figure-opening-reception/" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffe599;">Modern Atelier: The Methods of Today’s Training</span></a><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">.</span></div>

Recent events have caused me to shelve certain projects, and I am slowly reorganizing my priorities. One of the greatest difficulties I have found being an artist (and there are many) is knowing where to invest precious energy. A single decision is better than a million possibilities, but it is difficult to know which course is best. Currently I am working on another complicated still life (the photos are bad iphone camera shots) pictured above. One shot is the drawing before transfer and the other is the oil transfer and beginning stages of the grisaille. I have also continued figure drawing sessions and hope to reopen the studio in the fall for classes and open sessions. </div></div></div></div></div></div>Carol Broman http://www.blogger.com/profile/16956305971157956295noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404673314308121433.post-60921047072499363612011-04-24T15:06:00.000-07:002011-04-24T15:11:08.177-07:00Completed Figure Study<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s0fm6M_fCRA/TbSflTgOiUI/AAAAAAAAALQ/7fQuEG4U4H8/s1600/Finished.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 306px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s0fm6M_fCRA/TbSflTgOiUI/AAAAAAAAALQ/7fQuEG4U4H8/s320/Finished.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599275699967789378" /></a><br />Hired the model back for one more session to complete the painting, making it a total of six 4 hour sessions.

Given the short duration I will have with the model (2o hours total), I omitted some of the preparatory stages I usually like to precede my finished paintings and just went straight for the finish. This one is small, 15" x 16", but I am thinking of using it as a study for a much larger painting. So far we have had three, four hour sessions.Carol Broman http://www.blogger.com/profile/16956305971157956295noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404673314308121433.post-38646924274316059862011-03-20T13:48:00.001-07:002011-03-20T13:51:51.395-07:00Tiny Figure Painting<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H0BX_GLMQsY/TYZosLbqY7I/AAAAAAAAAKg/8snMSiaYQfU/s1600/Brigitte.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H0BX_GLMQsY/TYZosLbqY7I/AAAAAAAAAKg/8snMSiaYQfU/s320/Brigitte.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586267495992026034" /></a><br />From today's open session. 3 hour pose 8" x 10" panel.Carol Broman http://www.blogger.com/profile/16956305971157956295noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404673314308121433.post-85018236886424842312011-03-13T18:08:00.000-07:002011-03-13T18:56:03.950-07:00More Drawings and Shots of the Studio (Farm)Thought I would post a few more drawings done over the past several months from the open figure sessions and some shots of the studio environment. My studio is situated on a 5 acre property much of which is wooded by melaleuca or paperbark trees.
