Live Ep. 20: My Experiences In The Bargue Program (4pm Oslo)

(UPDATE): I decided to clean up the footage from this livestream and fix the perspective on the drawing cam footage. This is then a better more streamlined version of the 2nd livestream from this lesson. Hope you enjoy.

In this episode I am going to be sharing some of my personal experiences from when I went through the Bargue program as a student. I also want to feature your stories as well. Type your into the live comments and I will share them as they come in.

Livestream, Episode 19, Talking Art & Success

4pm Oslo Time, May 1st. 

This is going to be a really tough one to talk about. Success in an art career is often fleeting and seldom feels really real in the moment. I am going to share some of the brushes that I have had with success and how it affected me and my work.

See you there.

Portrait of Alyssa, Part 1

It is finally happening! I am releasing some of the projects that I make for myself as unguided paint-alongs.

I feel that this is very important for you to see in part because: not all good painting choices are rational. In the lessons that I create for you here on Patreon I make an intense focus on giving the rational, understandable, learnable advice. The importance of teaching/ learning this way cannot be overstated. Student and teacher both need to share a mutual language of paintin...

3D Skull Reference, Male

It's finally done! This 3D render is the final version of the skull I have been preparing for you all. It is made to the proportions of the skull I use in my studio with many many tweeks to suit my particular vision.

Feel free to use it as drawing or painting reference. I hope this makes it just a little bit easier to get your 100 skull sketches under your belt!

Livestream Episode 18, Talking Art & Failure

In this episode I want to try something a little bit different. I will still be answering all of the questions that you put into the chat but I am going to try to focus on a specific subject: failure. In an artist's life it is omnipresent in one form or another. So, we have got to make friends with it.   

I will also be talking about the launch of the Atelier Tier on Patreon- super excited to share my knowledge and experience in this area with all of my subscribers.

The Atelier Tier: it's starting on May 3rd!

Thank you for your comments and suggestions! After much deliberation, this is what I have concluded:

I recognise the need to address a wider audience, both the beginner and the advanced learner, with a more well rounded but structured approach. I want to serve you to the best I possibly can being a one person production house. 

Here is what is NEW:

-The $10 Advanced Tier will now be called the Atelier Tier. There is NO added cost. View Post

Cutting My Drawings Off Of Their Panels

Finally fully settled into my studio here in Norway and I have been preparing to put all of my drawings and paintings that we shipped over from Jersey City "on the market," so to speak.

I made this video of how I cut them off of the panels they are stretched over specifically because I have learned a few things about doing it: 

  • The edges have to be perfectly squared!
  • The edges should be perfectly straight.
  • You want the drawing to be super secure while ...
