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 Modern Atelier: The Methods of Today’s Training.

Upcoming Show: Modern Atelier

The Modern Atelier show continues its national tour, appearing this September in Sunny Southwest Florida (actually, it's more like 'rainy').  If you will be in town, check it out. The show is a collaboration with fellow alumni from the Grand Central AtelierTodd Casey (MA), Carla Crawford (NY), Angela Cunningham (NC) Danny Grant (TX) and Gregory Mortenson (NY).

I am also giving a demonstration and doing a gallery talk the Saturday after opening night.
