DRAWING MARATHON -- Begin the new year drawing!
This weekend art marathon is a great way to kick off the year doing what you love—drawing from figure models! Two days, 6 hours each day, making drawings with others working intensely and enthusiastically from the live model. The pose lengths will progress from one minute gestures up to 2 or 3 hour poses (we’ll take a group vote). There will be a table full of yummy snacks to keep you happily fueled for drawing the day through. Colorful backdrops, as well. I’ll be there drawing and timing the model. No Instruction. Some folks sculpt, paint, or draw—your choice!
JAN 24-FEB 28: Woodland Pk. Zoo & Volunteer Pk. Conservatory
Six Consecutive Tuesdays > Class fee: $195 / TIME: 1-4 pm
SIX SESSIONS SKETCHBOOK, MIXED MEDIA DRAWING
Draw in sketchbooks from fascinating animals and plants while exploring issues of color, texture, space, line, form, and composition. It’s a joy to be outside of the traditional studio investigating drawing concepts inspired by “models” at the zoo and conservatory. A variety of colored drawing media will be used, both wet and dry media. Classes are held at Woodland Park Zoo and Volunteer Park’s Conservatory. All levels are welcomed. Zoo entrance fee is not included.

PORTRAIT PAINTING in the manner of ALICE NEEL
Alice Neel painted portraits of friends, fellow artists, art collectors and more, with expressive lines and
colors that translated their personalities in an intimate and direct way. This Portrait workshop explores painting in the manner of Alice Neel’s “brushstrokes and color” to learn more about the use of such
expressive and bold lines with vivid color shapes, and thick to thin texture. Some painting or drawing
experience recommended. Oil or Acrylic paint.

MARCH 9,10,11: Friday night, all day Sat & Sun—All Levels
Workshop held on Guemes Island, WA
MIXED MEDIA FIGURE DRAWING & YOGA
Fee: $300 (includes yoga & drawing instruction, 2 buffet breakfasts)
Barbara Fugate, Drawing Instructor; Tammie Winter, Yoga Instructor
Held on the beautiful Guemes Island (near Anacortes WA), this retreat combines yoga and drawing to strengthen our physical and mental connection within ourselves and our art. Barbara teaches drawing with yoga instructor Tammie Winter from San Francisco, CA.
Tammie leads a yoga practice before and after the drawing sessions to energize, balance, and stretch out any tensions. Barbara guides you through drawing exercises that explore gesture, line, shadow shapes, and movement from a live model. Charcoal, ink wash and limited soft pastel colors will be used. On Friday night Tammie begins our retreat with one hour calming and centering yoga. Saturday morning begins again with one hour of yoga followed by a breakfast buffet. 5 hours of drawing follows afterwards with Barbara. Yoga ends the day with more stretching, balance and breathing practice for an hour. A similar schedule follows on Sunday. There is a one hour lunch break each day and a buffet breakfast both days. All levels in yoga and drawing are welcomed and accommodated. Email Barbara soon for assistance with lodging on Guemes Island.
