Demo with Mike Svob

The Calgary Sketch Club hosted a demo evening with Mike Svob.
Mike is always willing to share and his easy going attitude to art creation is certainly a welcome. Mike's heart warming approach to art is simple and he emphasizes that its not the information but rather whats interesting that makes the painting effective.  He paints with ease in his colourful flair as he demonstrates his technique and style.

Workshop Portraiture with Elena Bushan

Recently I hosted the Calgary Sketch Club Workshop with Elena Bushan.

Here is the Workshop Progress
Great advice from Elena was orange is the colour usually  given tot he neck shadow.

Below is working at home  I still need to finish eyes and dark ness of background. Making up the colours for the face is  fun but I almost prefer the first version. A few more tweaks and I will be moving on to the next project. My granddaughter sent  another wonderful photo to try.
