Guidelines
Introductory Approaches to Gesture Sketching: from initial gesture to a sketch of the figure in 3 to 5 minutes with Ken Roy.
The workshop will focus on the introduction and demonstration of three practical, functional approaches to gesture sketching that express rhythm, establish balance, and create structure by using expressive lines, personal graphic language, proportion, and landmarks of the body.
You will draw from a live model (Vivian Kalinov) from 1 p. m. to 4 p. m.
The Madeley Fine Art Gallery at 127 Simonton St.
Ages 18 and over; all experience levels
$50 for CAL members; $90 for non-members
Class size is limited to 8. Don't miss out!
Supply list
Paper: either copy paper (letter or legal size) or newsprint (rough or smooth, in any size that you find comfortable). If you can't decide between two sizes, go with the larger size.
Drawing implement, your preference, and these are recommended: pencil (no. 2 is fine), charcoal pencil (2B), willow charcoal, pastel pencil or stick (hard), conte pencil, or Cretacolor lead holder, with either sanguine oil or Nero drawing leads.
Markers are not a good choice because they will bleed through the paper, and this will make the reverse side unfit. The idea is that both copy paper and newsprint are cheap, and both sides can be used.
If you've been wanting to enter the world of art, this class was designed with you in mind. Your instructor will introduce you to this beautiful medium, as well as the materials and the process. CAL will supply you with everything you need to complete your project, and you will go home with your painting and your supplies so that you can continue to paint.
The workshop is taught by Terri Harris, of the Conroe Art League, an award-winning watercolorist with many years of experience. Terri is always advancing in her skills and is focused now on painting still lifes. She will show you how to use control to create a beautiful, rich, loose, more intuitive painting.

I recommend hog bristle or good quality synthetic brushes for oil painting. Bring a mixture of filberts, flats, and rounds in various sizes (4, 6, 8, 10) with one sable rigger (liner). I use Robert Simmons Signet series (hog bristles) and Rosemary & Co. Ivory series (synthetic). Don’t bring worn out brushes.
- You will use 3 to 4 panels per day. Your choice of panel sizes (6x8, 8x10, 9x12) - no larger than 9x12 for this workshop. Please bring panels rather than stretched canvas and avoid panels with too “slick” a surface.
- Optional: I tone my panels with a thin wash of Liquitex Red Oxide acrylic paint wiped on with a moist paper towel.
Graham’s Walnut Alkyd Medium - a fast drying and non-toxic product; Gamblin Neo Megilp.
ODORLESS mineral spirits (Gamsol or Turpenoid). Do not bring hardware store turpentine - it is not healthy for you or the people around you.
- disposable gloves
- wet panel carrier
- bag lunch, bottled water

This BRAND NEW 3-day workshop is debuting at CAL! It will focus on painting from direct observation. Each day, the class will explore a different subject.
Day 1 - the still life
Day 2 - the figure from a live model
Day 3 - the portrait sketch from a live model
By emphasizing accuracy in drawing, values, edges, texture, and color, students will learn to paint alla prima (all at once), with dynamic brushwork and texture, achieving energetic and engaging paintings. All skill levels are welcome, even if you've never painted from life before. While Patrick will be demonstrating in oil paint, acrylics and pastels are also welcome.
Class size is limited to 14, so that each student can receive the maximum amount of interaction with the instructor. Patrick's CAL workshops ALWAYS fill up, so register quickly. Patrick will send a list of suggested supplies after you register.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 20-22
9 a.m. to 4 p.m
