Hi Everyone, Has been awhile since I got a newsletter out..had done one about two weeks ago, but I did something wrong and for some reason it did not get sent out!
This will not be a long one...mostly want to announce the workshops I have scheduled this month and next month and that I am part of the "Realism Live" presentations in November. The main great news is that I am feeling pretty good now after a difficult last 6 months..was in and out of the hospital 5 or 6 times for a variety of reasons and generally just not feeling very well! It's just the last week or so that I seem to be back to something the resembles normal!! I won't go into it all as I mainly want to promote my upcoming workshops and particularly the ones that I am giving that are stressing Design and Composition. As I love to teach I was determined to teach some strong fundamentals that if students learn them and apply them, their work will improve..giving them not what they "want", but what they "need"..things that take time, patience, perseverance and practice! And with these drawing and painting workshops focusing on the "Principles and Elements of Design" learning what they are and how and when to apply them to our work..it is impressive what we can come up with!
I have a short Online weekend presentation and workshop this coming weekend thru the Gage Academy of Art that has a few spaces left..I know it is short notice, but wanted to tell you about it if you have the time and money, its a pretty good buy at $295 for 6 hours each on Saturday and Sunday. You can link up for more info on the Gage weekend workshop with this link:https://gageacademy.org/class_information.php?id=1067
I still have my other Online Design workshops and Portrait Drawing Workshops listed under workshops on the menu bar and my regular weekly online class every Wednesday from 10 to 1, but it is filled up right now, but am taking names for a waitlist if you want to email me at nedmueller06@comcast.net if you are interested.
I have also been planning on starting an evening or weekend class as so many people can't take classes during the day on a weekday..so again let me know if you might be interested in an evening or weekend class..I already have a few interested in that and so if we get enough we can do that. Right now I am just still doing Online classes and workshops did one local Plein Air Event a few weeks ago..was pretty rusty and managed an honorable mention, also got at third place in our annual Pacific Rim Institute of Marine Artists Show at the Wooden Boat Center in Seattle..just happy to get out a little and get some exposure!
As I am 82 and have this rare auto immune disease that still leaves me at high risk and still have to watch smartly what I can and cannot do!
Nice to be back in the studio working and blessed to have Karen at my side and helping to keep me on track and alive!
