Inspired by Manet

For tonight's workshop we'll have our model in a matador costume. As I was browsing through all my options I saw the matador labels and thought of the painting by Manet. So, if you can make it I think you'll be in for a treat.

Manet’s Mlle. V in the Costume of an Espada (1862)

FIW on the road!

On Friday the 19th I'll be painting from a live costumed model at the Museumathon event at the Kenosha Public Museum. Part of the event is to celebrate the Fantastic Worlds Exhibit; Masters of Science Fiction and Fantasy Art in which I have a panting on display.

The event is free! I hope you can make it.

August FIW!

Save the date! August 26, 2011. 

The next Figurative Illustration Workshop will be on a Friday night, the 26th of August. The session will begin at 6:00 pm and run until 9:30 pm. There is plenty of parking at the Platform Studios building and fairly easy to get to by public transportation.

I'm working out the details of out model and costuming. Stay tuned for an update soon.
