Beyond DRILLS | Drawing & Painting Workshops in 2024/25

After the DRILLS & Alla Prima workshops in May, I’m really looking forward to getting back over to France for a couple more workshops with Studio Escalier (follow the links for more info & registration):

2024 Summer in Argenton | Three Weeks of Figure Drawing
August 8 - 31

2024 Autumn Intensive | Six Weeks of Figure Painting
September 5 - October 19

Beyond that, I’m hoping to start enrolling for another three week January Figure Painting workshop at The Ryder Studio in Santa Fe NM a bit sooner this year (Dates, tentatively Jan 6 - 24 …Registration Coming soon!)

DRILLS & Alla Prima - May 2024

The plan had initially been to repeat last year’s curriculum and follow up a week of DRILLS with another Drawing/Sculpting workshop. Unfortunately, my dear friend Donat King and I are not going to be able to do so again this year (fingers crossed for 2025!).

Instead, I’m going to extend DRILLS to 10 days (***Date change due to studio renovations: Weekdays, May 20-31***), and in lieu of the Drawing/Sculpting class, I’m going to offer an Alla Prima Portrait Painting Workshop, that will total 8 poses - and a variation of models - over 5 days (***June 3-7***).

In the DRILLS class, we’ll be building upon our painting and drawing toolsets, all of which will be brought together for the Alla Prima class - It’s going to be a lot of fun. Those of you who register for both classes/all three weeks via the DRILLS + Alla Prima Package will save $250 off of tuition.

Both workshops will be held at the Ryder Studio in Santa Fe, NM.

The registration deadline for DRILLS & Alla Prima is Friday April 19, 2024 (extended deadline)

Coming up in 2023-2024

2023 Has been a great year so far .. I just returned back to Santa Fe from a wonderful 9 weeks of Figure Drawing & Painting with Studio Escalier in Paris and Argenton Chateau. Four years have gone by since I was last there to teach - it was such a gift to finally pick up where I left off at the studio along with Jillian and our little Sylvie (who turned one while we were there!). I couldn’t have asked for a better time there… and I can’t wait to get back next Autumn, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, I’m excited about some upcoming workshops and courses in 2024.

NYC

Entering into March, I had the pleasure of participating in a drawing competition at the Salmagundi Club in NYC. It was such a brief weekend, but an absolute joy to go draw with a number of incredible artists. I was lucky enough to take 3rd place in the competition. My most sincere congratulations to Dan Thompson (1st) and to Tyler Berry (2nd) for their beautiful drawings and well deserved honors. I extend my congratulations to all the participants as well - some old friends, some new ones.

(I hope to be able to find more excuses to visit New York soon)

Summer is Coming

It’s already time to register for my figure drawing program in Paris. Instead of two three week sections (as was scheduled in previous summers), I will be teaching one four week intensive workshop.

Session dates are July 27 - August 21 2020

Application deadline of March 1st is approaching quickly!
