ASW event

Today I spent some time getting ready for a fun and FREE event at the Art Supply Warehouse in Westminster on Oct 15,16 and 17.  There will be a lot of different products to try, give-aways and 25% off most items in the store.  I will be teaching with the WOil which is a water mixable oil.  The 20 minute class will be geared toward the beginner but will be a great opportunity for all levels of artist to try the WOil product. I have selected 5 images that will be available to paint from.  ASW wanted me to come up with something fun for the holiday so I created the one below.

 I will be there all three days from 10am-1pm.  Hope to see you there.

La boheme

Today was a day for sculpting.  "La boheme" is a sculpture I started as a demonstration during First Thursday's  Art Walk in Laguna at the Esther Wells Collection.   With a model posing, Howard Marchese painted, Jan Magdaleno sketched and I sculpted. Below is the result of the evening of sculpting and then photos of today,s work.

Next step will to design and sculpt the plinth.

Technique:  This is a very coarse clay called FSB or Fullerton Sculpture Body.  It is a cone 5 clay.
