Fine Art Portrait Artist

 

 

Classes & Workshops

 



Michelangelo (1475-1564) said, " A man paints with his brains and not with his hands."
In Europe Art is taught as part of the curriculum.
The desire to draw and paint is the first step to achieving a goal. 
You don't have to be 'gifted', you just have to have a mind ready to learn.  Teaching people to 'think like an artist' is my specialty.
I enjoy seeing how each person learns and helping them to translate the techniques in their minds.

So many artists are coming in flocks to the ‘model sessions’ in town.  And, if they aren’t… they desire deeply to be there.  But, the lack of knowledge as to how to approach the model on their canvas or paper keeps them from doing so well or even … at all! 

These classes are designed to push the fundamentals of seeing light verses shadow.  This is the basis to all successful work.  We as artist paint far too much into the shadows of a subject and fail to see the huge difference between the ‘light’ and shadow.  

I will work with the students to further their training of how to ‘Think Like an Artist’. 

You will learn: Compositional strategies, pallet setup, color layout, how to make a striking painting by the use of light, how to make your work, anatomy structure, measurements to make the human anatomy accurate to scale, as well as painting flowing material to add to the beauty of the composition and flow of the painting. With over 25 years of teaching, Bobbi’s sense of humor and intuitively intelligent approach to teaching reaches all students!

 

 

“I took a class from Bobbi in 2011 and was so impressed with her kindness and her ability to create the perfect balance between demonstrating, instructing, supporting and encouraging. Bobbi knows how to meet each student right where they’re at and get us to stretch ourselves by seeing what is really there, not what we think is there – which is a great skill in life too. She is a master teacher.” – Joe Zaniker
