It was sized first with shellac and then toned just as Liberace instructed on his DVD. This is a three color pencil on watercolor paper. I would love to take a workshop with him some day. I drew this one from the Robert Liberace (what a great artist) reference on his DVD. It's a great group of artists and I'm lucky to be able to sit next to them and absorb some of their wisdom. And since the setting is in a restaurant you can have some breakfast at the same time! Everyone is able to add his or her comments in turn. You can bring some examples of your work to share with the others. The topics are varied (not necessarily marketing) but all relate to art, and generally focus on art that can be accomplished in one sitting. We meet every Thursday in Multnomah Village with a group called Alla Prima Portland. Today's challenge is to start an art marketing group. The Leslie Saeta 30 Day Marketing Challenge starts today. Would I recommend a Za Vue workshop to someone? IN A HEARTBEAT! It was great having an energetic coach Za to slap me on the side of the head and cheer me on.

And Za just knows how to get these points across to someone.
So what was it about her rendition that struck a cord with me? I think it was the energy and enthusiasm with which she delivered it. Most of what she said I have heard before. None of these truths are new they have been tested through the centuries. Seeing color temperature is going to take a lot of practiceĭuring the class she stressed the truths about art that have come down through the ages from the great masters. Do you see the coolness on the side of her face?" I shook my head in acknowledgement while straining to see what she meant. When I found myself staring at my palette in bewilderment she would appear and quickly mix the right color. She traversed the room constantly and saw everything that we were doing while we were doing it. Za made sure that everyone received personal attention. It amazes me how difficult/easy it is to shift values. Near the end of the painting the image just jumps out. The painting develops slowly this way, but finishes with a flurry. I believe that part of the magic is due to how Za paints her subjects she stays on the big shapes and leaves the details to the end. Za began her demo and it was like watching a magic show right there on the canvas the image started to appear. This work started in a very high key but Za helped me rescue it She was dropping diamonds of information in front of us but I just wasn't gathering them fast enough. Za was setting the foundation for proper thinking about art. I didn't realize until later that we were in the meat of the class. I wanted to get into the meat of the class. Za seemed to expend great effort and time to set the mood for the class. We began simply by speaking and getting to know each other. Za's demo was slow to develop but came together quickly at the end She also supplied a beautiful spread of snacks, coffee and tea. A personal folder with class outline, objectives, thoughts and quotes was given to each attendee.
She brought with her a professionalism that was obvious right from the start of the class. Za is a veteran with ten years at the Disney animation studios before leaving and coming to Oregon. It was quite an experience to have had the honor of attending Za Vue's workshop.
