Life drawing club

The long pose life drawing club in Hintonburg

There are numbers of short pose life drawing groups in Ottawa, but not many offers 18 hour long pose for artists to spend more time to observe and work.

Melrose Ave. Art Club is welcoming new members who are keen to polish the drawing/painting/sculpting skills.

If interested in, please check their website from below link.

Winter art gathering

Hello!
During the month of February, I will be offering some artistic activities to share and enjoy the creative process at my home studio, Studio Oak Tree, 269 Island Park Drive.
Activities:
On Saturday February 9th, Byrne Carrie (2018 figureworks finalist) will present an artist talk about composition using old masters’ work as examples. All levels of artists are welcome to join this talk and try some exercises to learn/review composition. Free for art club members and $10 for non members.
I also offer Friday morning and Saturday afternoon non-instrational portrait drawing sessions at my studio with a $5 participation fee, plus a shared model fee (varies by number of attendants).
The next session will be on Friday Feb 8th, the model will be Dwayne. Please check the schedule.
I also offer basic academic drawing lessons using Charles Bargue plates.
If interested in, please contact me!

Thank you. 😀

Postponed Alla Prima Workshop …

I have 2 updates, good one and sad one.

First, unfortunately, Juan’s workshop has been postponed…

Stay tuned for new dates!

Second, however, Saturday portrait get together was great success. 8 artists worked together. During the breaks, having tea and snack, looking at each other’s variety of style of work and chatting about art, own goal, etc etc.

It was a great stimulation! Here are some result form the get together.

Next one will be on Dec 8th. If interested in, contact me!

I am very excited as my teacher and friend, Juan Martinez, is coming to Ottawa to offer a weekend long all prima workshop at my home studio!

Juan is a very interesting person, not only professional artist, but also competitive Kettle Bell practitioner.  We have a lot of  common interest as he used to practice Japanese martial arts. ^^

Please don’t miss this opportunity to meet him and learn his wonderful skill.
