DRAWINGS FROM THE GREEK AND ROMAN ERA



March was a very good month for me. There was lots of sketching at the San Antonio Museum Of Art and lots of work completed in my studio. Also some of us artists from the Seguin Oakwood Art League have decorated several downtown windows with our art and it will remain on display untill the 26th of April. My mom and I have a window next door to Chiro Java, across from the court house, on Austin st. in Seguin. Two more artist's works are located behind Chiro Java on Nolte st. and four more artists have their work on either side of Picket Frames on N. Austin St.
Russell Lopez was the instructor at the San Antonio Museum Of Art for all of March and he was terrific! He is very well schooled and shares his knowledge generously. He's working on a workshop for this weekend in Seguin and will be showing us how to grind and mix paint from chunks of pigment, explaining and showing us why it's better quality than store bought tubes and cheaper as well. We'll also be learning to work with the old Master's "dead" pallet colors and learn how the various paint pigments react with each other, among many other things. Anyone interested in joining Russell's workshop can contact me here and I'll get back with you.
Posted today are some of last month's drawings from SAMA's sculptures. Hope to see you back here soon!
