Winter Session and Learning Skills to Create

  I can't believe that is it time to think about winter classes but it is.  Time goes by so fast!!  It has been a productive fall with great students and challenges.  I would love any feedback from students to let me know about their needs in my classes.  My Ryan Estate classes are for you my students. We can address the most important issues that you have in painting and drawing.   In my morning class I am thinking to change things up I will have students paint and finish two paintings in the semester.  I will discuss beginning and finishing a painting.  What the process looks like.  In the landscape class we will work on studies that will prepare us for the spring Plein Air experience.  And a new class I am running at the Emerson Umbrella is a portrait class in pastel.  It is not only the humans we love to render but our many pets.  I know there is interest out there doing animals and I hope this reaches the folks who requested a class on this.  In the meantime enjoy the beautiful Fall light that is just extraordinary this time of year.
