Tagged: Chicago’s Palette & Chisel

 
Dropped down to the main gallery at the Palette & Chisel after a morning life drawing session, to catch my friend Larry Paulsen give a demo on how he approaches portraiture with watercolors. An excellent draughtsman with a career of doing storyboards for film behind him, Larry now teaches at Chicago’s Palette & Chisel Academy. His classes are packed. Colorful as well as assured in his line work and  minimal layout, students are treated to clear and in depth description of process and the reasons for his approach. They’re also treated to a fare share of wisecracks and engaging stories about artists and their idiosyncratic methods.



the following sketches were from my morning studies that day.
