Thanks to everyone that took classes with me... or showed interest during the last 6 weeks.

these are the new classes:


Introduction to Figure Drawing

Students will be working from a model each session, using a variety of different techniques, such as hatching, varying line quality, layering, and subtractive hatching. Sessions will be divided up so students will be able to focus on the figure at several different speeds. The last couple sessions we will be working on an extended long pose. If you wish to oil paint in this class inform me and I will provide you with a list a additional materials.
This class is appropriate for students that have both never drawn from the model before and ones that have a history in it.


Mondays 6:30 to 9:30pm
Jan. 22nd to Feb 26th (6 sessions)

Class Fee: $200 plus model fee (probably around $5 per class)

Materials list: http://www.tjcarlson.com/materialsfig.doc
Location: 143-5 Christopher Columbus Drive, Jersey City


Introduction to Painting and Drawing

This is a beginning class in drawing and painting designed for those with limited artistic training. A series of weekly exercises will train the student to master the foundation skills needed to continue to more advanced courses. The exercises include rendering the value scale, gradients, using a view finder, sighting, construction, various painting techniques (under-painting, glazing and impasto), composition and still-life. Each class begins with a demonstration of the exercise followed by one-on-one instruction. Students will also be given optional assignments that will expand on the material presented in class.

There will be some space provided in which you may store wet paintings, and some materials.
