Amy in Rose (in progress)

Today 4 members of the LAG, Tony & Sandra Guzzo, Joanne Ramsey, Jeanie Schlump and a guest, Adam Adkison painted our model during a 2-hour session. This is Jeanie Schlump's acrylic in progress. Because no one finished, we took some reference photos and will complete the portrait from a photo-reference shot. Live observation of the model is always good practice and preferable to copying photos.

LAG Visits UW Visual Arts Center

Mark Ritchie (second from left) shows LAG one of two painting areas as well as a vented storage room for oils. Students have access to flat file drawers for storage of large drawing projects in adjacent drawing areas.

Please note the natural light. Spot lights above model or still life can be turned on while entire room is blackened out and individual stations can be illuminated for painting/drawing students (see upper right).

LAG Visits UW Visual Arts Center

Mark Ritchie shows members of the LAG the print-making area of the VAC. Area features ventilation above the presses (see objects hanging from ceiling) which can be directed specifically to individual work areas as well as central vents which keep fumes from acid baths & other chemicals from collecting in the room.

Both old beds and lithostones have been saved and are in use as well as contemporary equipment. I was very impressed that the UW Art Department had the foresight to not discard extremely usable pieces of equipment just because of their age.

Mark Ritchie shows the LAG the metalurgy room. Stations feature illuminated magnifiers for close work & dremel tools for intricate carving.

Once again, you can see the abundance of natural light which enters the building through the thermopaned windows.
