Addressing the figure as the
subject for a painting with the same artistic freedom employed when attempting
other subjects in
nature is the central theme of Don’s figure classes. "Throughout
the workshop, I will be putting forth the concept that successful figure
painting is more than a visual explanation of anatomical parts. While there
is nothing wrong with reporting detail, perhaps we have traveled down the "detail
road" long enough. We can benefit from exploring the figure in other
directions as well." Don's classes are geared to intermediate and advanced
painters who are looking for a challenge. Daily demonstrations will excite
and stimulate those artists who are eager to stretch beyond the usual answers,
and discover a new looseness and expressive quality in his or her work.
