Dora Patin's upcoming classes

If you read this blog consistently, then you know that I consider Dora Patin a prodigy.  And Dora has now added more evidence to support that statement by offering art classes and the feedback that I have been getting has been phenomenal!

Dora tells me that:

Over the past several weeks, I've been focusing on experimenting with drawing methods that are new to me. The drawing above is the latest result of that exploration. This process inspired me to create a new class that I'll be teaching at Compass Art Center. If you are striving to create realistic drawings, this class is for you.

Introducing: Drawing with Accuracy. In this class I teach the sight-size method working from a photo reference. Students will learn how to accurately measure and compare directly from a photo, allowing the same level of precision and realism. This is a strong starting point for training your eye to see correct angles, proportions and shapes and replicate them before moving onto value control.

I'm excited to offer this class and would love to see it come together with a great group. If you're interested, registration is now open. And I have a small favor to ask: if someone comes to mind who might like this class, I'd really appreciate you sharing it with them. Personal recommendations truly make a difference.
