Congratulations, David, on completing The Guitar!

Congratulations, David, on completing The Guitar! This project is a milestone for my students as it combines so many lessons about drawing, shading, composition, realism, and patience. What's after this pencil final? Many start learning painting, some continue with realism towards portraiture, and charcoal is always popular as it becomes much easier to work with and is much faster than pencil.

What does a student create with realism? Being abl

What does a student create with realism? Being able to draw accurately is a wonderful skill and something that students can feel proud of at a young age. Learning and understanding gradients, values and color means being able to create very unique artwork. Using both of these skills and creating something from imagination means being able to refine an idea into something you're proud of and something that is truly unique. So, whether it's a Master Copy with color changes or a dragon from imagination, the skills learned here are a key to unlocking happiness in your ability to create amazing art. We teach confidence. I often hear new students say to me," Wow, I didn't know I was able to create something like this."

It looks like the mural has finally been freed from its cages just in time for summer. This mural was a delight to paint and an amazing project to be a part of. Thanks @pacificamurals for bringing this project to life.

Some days, you just gotta draw birds! This is a selection of bird art from the Realism Art Studi from different ages. Some love realism and some use the realism skills to make their own style better defined. Either way, great job to all my students!!!

Progess of Angélica’s drawing. Cars can be extra difficult to draw partially because of volumetrics, and because long, clean lines can be illusive to line up. However, she's up for the challenge, and the work is looking excellent. I teach a lot of information, and the exercises are chosen by the instructor... but students get to choose their personal projects. Come join us at Bay Area Art School and get to the next level with your art.

Student art from painter's art camp. Learning a limited color palette is a game changer for most artists. With so many choices in colors at the art store, which ones do you choose?
