One of our fan's sent us an email and it really got us thinking. So today's episode has the gang discussing, arguing, musing and pining about artistic style. Tune in to see how much Aaron Miller has to say on the subject (he has been saving up for this one) and with the information in this podcast you may be able to figure out who did all those cave paintings...<br />

On Tuesday nights I have a<a href="http://tojogallerydrawing.blogspot.com/" style="color: #5f5f5f;" target="_blank"> figure drawing session at the studio</a> from 7-9:30pm. The Artdepth event started at 10pm. The cool things was that we were providing our drawing horses for them to use and our model was also scheduled to model there that night. Everything went really smooth.</div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Palatino, Georgia, Baskerville, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">The event was really well run. The models were dressed to play out Nursery Rhymes, the late night kind. The costumes just made the event that much more fun. While we were drawing in the front of the house there was a photo studio set up in the back for some photographers. I had planned to paint in oils but knowing this would be in a dark bar with multiple models I had a feeling the timing would not lend itself to painting and keeping things clean in someone else’s business. I decided to go with the moleskin sketchbook and some watercolor pencils. They worked out perfect for the event. The models came out in groups of two to five. And the times ranged from 10 minutes to 30.</div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Palatino, Georgia, Baskerville, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">It gave me some good ideas to possibly do with my own workshop once time permits. Here are some of the drawings I did that night;</div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Palatino, Georgia, Baskerville, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

After next Tuesday's session I'm heading over to Evil Olive, its about 3 blocks away to keep drawing and painting.<br />
<br />
take a look at the flyer posted here and maybe I'll see you there!<br />

On today's episode, blog members Allen Douglas, Madeline Carol Matz, Kim Kincaid and Mark Harchar discuss the 800 pound gorilla in every artist's room...how to use color. Join us as we muse about color palettes, color in movies and TV and painting the cat (honestly, it isn't a metaphor).<br />
And when you are done listening, click on the link on the bottom left of the blog to checkout Aaron Miller's blog on artist's palettes.<br />
<br />
And for all those listeners that tune in from iTunes, feel free to post a review of the podcast. For every review, we get a nice shiny nickel (no, not really).<br />

While on a hiking trip to the Grand Tetons just north of Jackson, Wyoming I was able to do a few plein air paintings and a late night sketch in the lobby of our hotel. We stayed at the Snake River Resort Lodge. We both want to try camping in the mountains next time.<br />
<br />
Over the 4 days in Wyoming we hiked over 26 miles (a marathon marker) and hiked over 9,600 ft. of elevation. The thin air makes hiking all that much harder. We saw just about all the wildlife Wyoming had to offer. Seems like early October is a great time to visit. Luckily none of the bears or moose came across our path on the long hikes or while painting.<br />
<br />
My painting sketches took about an hour each, mostly 45-50 minutes. I'll make a second post detailing my tools and materials to go painting in the mountains.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06683605918720652182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970739931606657792.post-37300610670569496982010-10-03T07:09:00.000-07:002010-10-03T07:09:00.844-07:00Figure Study No. 180<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4n6aQnWMdnLi_d04WXcfCVcZ-Oci0iex7N08diBtO8c?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_YXv23Uyu9Nw/TKU06Wkf72I/AAAAAAAAApU/BjDnyNGCo4k/s400/FS%20No%20180.jpg" height="323" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AaronMillerIllustration/AaronMillerIllustratorDesigner?authkey=Gv1sRgCKbSrc-X0sDGnQE&feat=embedwebsite">Aaron Miller | Illustrator | Designer</a></td></tr></table><br />

<br />
Final cover art for the book <strong><em>Guardians of the Deser</em></strong>t by Leona Wisoker. The final image is a mix of digital and traditional. I painted the main portion of the front cover in oils and created an extension to the painting for the spine and back cover, creating a wrap image.<br />
<br />
The main character, Alyea, is portrayed as removing her veil or covering wrap. She's a new desert lord, fierce, and independent. Even the wren has some significance.<br />

October 21-24.<br />
There is a 10 student limit. I'm sure the workshop will fill up fast.<br />

I took his workshop earlier this summer and I had a blast and learned a ton. I only wish I could get out and paint more often!<br />
