(This is basically a follow up to an earlier
blog post by James Gurney) Last Saturday I attended an open life painting
session at the Home/Studio of friend and mentor Garin Baker. I’ve been attending these life drawing and
painting classes off and on for the past 12 years. It’s always a great time in a relaxing
positive atmosphere. Often I never
know who is going to show up since the Hudson Valley is full of Illustrators
and Fine Artists. This time around we
were honored to have James Gurney and Max Ginsburg stop by for the day. Garin’s atelier offers a number of classes
for experienced and novice artists.

My quick gouache study from the day. When
painting a live model sometimes I like doing it in watercolor and gouache rather than
oils. Here are some other pics from the day. Starting with Garin's painting, then Max and James' Ginsburg study.

Here is a painting Garin did of me back in March
2001. The model cancelled at the last minute so
I volunteered. He captured a quick
likeness just before the rest of my hair fell out.
It was great painting with you, Eric, and I enjoyed the jokes you cracked during the session. Was that you sending down the lightning bolts?
ReplyDeleteIt sure was! Always a pleasure to hang out with you and make some art. Thanks for stopping by my little blog. Look forward to our next outing with Garin and the crew.
