Cost:$495+50
Confidence to express yourself with artworks comes from developing your skills in drawing. David’s workshop is about learning to see the world more clearly and move your hand more accurately. You will learn the fundamentals or review the level that you have already attained. From that starting point, the workshop will embark on a journey through five genres. Whether your joy is landscape, still life, animals, figures or portraits, you will have the chance to explore them all.
All materials used in the classes are provided for you. David asks you to bring your enthusiasm and questions. During the week you will work in pencil, pen, charcoal, and conte with some surprises along the way. You will work in the studio and on location.
David’s experience and expertise spans decades. He has been Artist in Residence for Steinway Piano Gallery in Alpharetta GA for many years. In 2014, the work from David’s students enrolled in a CAW Master Drawing Class was featured in Steinway Piano Gallery’s show, “Allegro to Adagio.” The inspiration for their entries began as they sketched around the grand piano at The Lodge dining room!
David’s many accomplishments include doing 70 drawings for PBS Atlanta’s documentary “Atlanta Voices Memories of Vietnam. His current project involves plein air paintings at our National Parks. To date, David has painted on location in 27 of the parks. He is preparing for a national exhibition in about two years.
To quote David: “Gathering with others who are at different levels than you is one of the most important things artists can do for themselves. That doesn’t come from me: it came from Leonardo Da Vinci!”
Come join David in this beautiful, relaxed mountain setting and get your inner Leonardo on!
Supplies: David brings all the required supplies for this class.
