Yellow Dancer 2011
Recently, I was invited to a figure painting workshop being run by my long time teacher, mentor and friend, Tammra Sigler. I have taken summer classes in figure painting from Tammra for many years. What I love about Tammra is her combination of guts, freedom and a painter’s eye. She helps you to jump in, loosen up and break boundaries in a way that is true to yourself. She also teaches you to assess yourself along the way. During much of this day and a half workshop, the model was continuously moving, which really helped me to push my limits of expression and abstraction of the figure. A variety of media also gave my pieces in this series a nice texture. Look for the full series to be added to this website under “Figures” soon!
