CLASSES:

I am currently an Adjunct Faculty instructor at Boston University for the class, Anatomy and Figure Drawing, which meets twice a week and focuses on learning and drawing the useful landmarks one needs to know to draw the figure convincingly.

I teach a class on Portrait Painting Monday mornings from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. through the winter months. I work alongside the students starting with basic drawing, limited pallet, and full pallet portraits, giving critiques and instruction as is needed. Each has the opportunity to do a life size, sight-size portrait over the 5 months we work from the live models. Some years there is interest among the students to continue with landscape painting throughout the summer. Cost is $50 a class.

APPRENTICES: I currently have one artist working with me in my studio, and have room for one more. "Apprenticeship" involves rigorous training and skill development in drawing and painting from life (usually taking 2 to 3 years), along with development of professional skills and vision. Cost is currently $125 per meeting (usually a little more than an hour, which does not include studio space). Some students like one meeting per week, beginners often choose two to develop quickly.
