On February 19th, 21st and 22nd, we offered a great workshop, a very unique and creative way to study the human body, the model was directly painted on her skin to describe the muscles; the students were amazed and very excited for the results of their work.
We will have this year our Annual Art Show and Holiday Party hosted by Jerry’s Artarama Artist’s supplies store in Miami.
We had a very successful workshop, the attendees and the Professor worked really hard with great results.

This workshop is an in-depth knowledge and practice of the individual features of the face (eyes, nose, mouth) and how they should be observed and painted in oil from three different views (full-face, 3/4, and profile). We will work from photographs of models of varying ages, gender and race. Demos and slide show examples. Basic drawing experience required.
After more than a year of waiting, we are back with our workshops, here I post some photos of the Oil color mixing workshop. We enjoyed three intensive days of work!.

Stephen Bauman demo
The Romero Hidalgo Artists’ Studios and NFX Studios will be honored to host two days “Live figure painting demonstration/ Sight-size approach” with Stephen Bauman. We will be privileged to hear and see more about Stephen’s academic sight-size method of painting. He will discuss his palette organization, setting up your model, background, light conditions, setting up your canvas, sight-size measurements process, proportions, and value as color. To Stephen, skill in drawing is fundamental, and among the most important assets a painter can possess. In his four years as a student he worked to understand the relationship of drawing to painting in the same way his teachers at the Academy understood it. As an instructor in the Intensive Drawing Program since 2007, by teaching the principles of drawing as they were handed down to him, he feels he has learned as much as he has taught, and hopes to transmit the same to his students.
Date: August Saturday 29 and Sunday 30, 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Museo del Prado is presenting the largest and most important retrospective ever to be devoted to the work of Joaquín Sorolla, the most internationally celebrated Spanish painter of the XIX century. The exhibition includes more than 100 paintings by the artist and will offer a comprehensive overview of his finest works, among them all of his great masterpieces. They include the group of panels entitled Visions of Spain, painted for the Hispanic Society of America and brought to Spain by Bancaja in 2007. On exhibition from 26 May through 6 September, 2009.
March 24 – April 30, 2009
The Dahesh Museum of Art and Syracuse University Art Galleries have formed a partnership, which will include the museum organizing several exhibitions annually from its own collection of 19th-century art in the academic tradition, complemented by works in the University’s rich collection, for presentation at the Palitz Gallery at Lubin House, as well as at the SUArt Galleries in Syracuse.The launch of this collaboration is scheduled for New York City this spring. From March 24 – April 30, a focused selection of the museum’s finest works will be featured in the exhibition In Pursuit of the Exotic: Artists Abroad in 19th Century Egypt and the Holy Land. Curated by David Farmer, the exhibition explores how artists in that era depicted their expanding world. The most exotic destinations for Europeans at that time were Egypt and the Holy Land, which, for centuries, had been difficult to reach. Egypt offered a mysterious culture and monumental environment, while the Holy Land combined a historical, religious connection with European tradition and an extraordinary visual “otherness.”
