I am excited to announce that as of June 1st, 2011, I will be the new owner and Executive Director of the Kewaunee Academy of Fine Art (KAFA).  I have a fabulous staff and student body, with a great line up of workshops and full time/part time classes available. This summer we will have plein aire workshops, the nude in nature, and a youth workshop covering ample subjects to get your student moving in the right direction. This Fall we will be working on adding sculpture, watercolor and the clothed/costumed model to the already well-rounded curriculum. Any questions ?… please feel free to email me.

3 hour study of Steve. Surround yourself with other artists, play some inspirational music, get outside in the sunshine, just do what you need to do to get those brushes moving!

Here is a schedule for upcoming classes at the mill, contact me for a registration form.

New students will begin with drawing techniques, studying line, value and proportion. The students will receive a supply kit that contains a sketchbook, a large drawing pad, various types of drawing pencils, and eraser.

Returning students will begin with painting. The students will use the studio’s paints and brushes, and will be given boards for painting. Please bring in your drawing supplies to prep for paintings. Students may want to bring a smock or an old shirt to leave in class.

***Extra drawing supplies will be on hand for purchase.

Grades 3-5 Mondays 6:30-7:30pm

$56.00 + $20.00 supply fee

Because of the popularity of my two classes, we’ve added two more to relieve the waiting list. If you are interested, please contact NWTC to register, go to www.nwtc.edu . They will be held on Tuesdays downtown Green Bay in the beautiful Art Garage Studio.

Here are the class numbers:

 Watercolor Class #26702 – Dates 1/12-3/2   9:00-11:40

Oil Paint     Class #26703 – Dates 1/12-3/2   1:00-3:40

The high school girls finished up the Fall session last night with their first figure drawing. MacGyver was their live model. This is my demo in charcoal. Drawing from life is very challenging, but they dove in head on and we are very proud of their accomplishments. They only had about 2 1/2 hours to spend on this. More drawing and painting from life in the next session.

This week’s lesson included drawing a still life from our new benches and practicing good composition, simple shapes, correct proportions, and using a 3 value scale. The results speak for themselves! Great job everyone!
