I'm Back

 Hello,

It's been a long time since you've heard from me. No, I didn't retire. No, I didn't die. Just got really sick (and at times I FELT like I was going to die). It's a long story but suffice to say, it had to do with  my colon and my bladder. Such fun. So below is very own service bear, named Ouch. He looks as bad as I feel.  :O)


This all started in September and as I got worse, I had to cancel classes until finally I found out what was wrong with me. I had surgery in January and I'm just now back on my feet (well, as best as I can). I just finished one session of classes and now I would like to open it up to other students.

Acrylics II
We're studying acrylics. Last session, we went over the basics and learned more about color mixing and blending. This upcoming session we will discuss more color theory with the CMYK  (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) palette, brushwork (washes, dry brushing, stippling, scumbling), more blending, learning how to use mediums and explore how to express oneself.
 


Interested? See announcement below.
If you interested, please drop me an email message and I'll send the registration.

Preview of Fall Classes

This fall I will be exploring the art of Cezanne and Van Gogh, both post Impressionists. In the meantime I wanted to give you a preview of the upcoming classes, starting September 17th. Hope you can attend.


 We'll be enjoying a different medium each week, we'll also:

  • Study artists in the Expressionist movement,
  • Learn to draw quickly within three minutes, 
  • Hone our drawing skills.
You can expect full art discussions, demonstrations and expert advice on your drawings. The students in class are very liberal minded, fun loving people. Be prepared to laugh, love and live in real time. Register at jjgoodell@gmail.com.
