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. (Image: Alice Neel)

(PAINTING) ART MARATHON —Paint, Draw, Sculpt—it’s your choice.
This is a great opportunity to study from live figure models in extended poses (NO INSTRUCTION). There will be two poses by two different models. Both models will pose for three hours each day, repeating their pose from Saturday to Sunday surrounded by a colorful backdrop. And there will be a table full of yummy snacks to keep you happily fueled while making art throughout the weekend. I will be there painting and timing the models. Take both days or one. Come join in an inspiring weekend of art making—painting, drawing, sculpting...it’s your choice. (Images: Keven, Jon & Oskar; Joanne, Liv & Jon during January 2012 drawing marathon)

MARCH 9,10,11: Friday night, all day Sat & Sun—All Levels
Time: one hour yoga on Friday evening & 10am - 5 pm Sat/Sun
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. (Images: Class Photo, Drawing/Yoga class on Guemes 2010)
