this was a great class. Jaqueline taught us how to draw objects and think of light sources to create the multidimensionality and different ways to play with shades and shadows. By the end of the class I had a better understanding of the concept and my drawing improved in just a couples of hours.

Good environment and great people. I really like the idea of meeting outdoors. Jay is very knowledgeable and concerned with our learning. She gives us instructions and examples and handouts but more importantly she lets us explore and try our own art and creativity offering guidance when needed. I would recommend this group to anyone who wants to learn more about drawing and meet other artists.

I've worked as a cinematographer for decades. For this painting, I applied a technique that I've used in filmmaking. That is, shallow depth of field. The only parts on the painting that are sharp ( in focus) are the bird and the foreground beach.

Title or Location: Just Chillin'
Oils on 56cm x 46cm canvas. Large for me!A larger canvas really does provide a wonderful opportunity to dive into the textures and subtleties of the lion cub's fur, and those expressive little details?like the way its eyes catch the light. Oils allows you to layer and blend, giving more depth and ability to play with the softness of the fur.

Winter?s grip on the Straits of Mackinac slowly melts away with each passing day of warm sunshine. The ice cover gradually retreats with the approaching spring and renewal of another shipping season on the Great Lakes.
