BAYarts Faculty Show

The art center where I teach is having a faculty show. We were all asked to contribute one water-related piece. I chose to do an encaustic, since it is a good representation of one of my more unique classes.

Oil and Water • Oil, Encaustic and Mixed Media • 8in x 8in

Costumed Cabaret: Drawing and Painting the Clothed Figure

Throughout art history, costumes have played an important role in defining the message of any given painting. In this exciting new class, students will have a unique opportunity to tell stories in their work by painting and drawing from costumed models. Special emphasis will be placed on composition, lighting, illustration, and props. Possible themes include: Victorian, Swinging Twenties, Cabaret, SciFi and others. Students should expect to work in both charcoal on newsprint and in oil paint.
