Podcast episode #104, conference presentation and new course
New podcast episode!
Hey art lovers and creative souls! Guess who's back with a new episode of the podcast? That's right, it's me, fresh from a hiatus spent getting ready for Wild Wonder Conference 2023 and crafting my brand new Etchr Drawing Course! 🎨✨
This episode is an absolute treat because I'm joined by the incredibly talented Alena Gastaldi! 🌟 From architecture in Russia to Urban Sketching around the globe 🌍, Alena shares her transformative artistic journey that you won't want to miss.
Wild Wonder Conference 2023
I am so excited about the Wild Wonder Conference this year. I was an attendee last year and this year I am so thankful to have the opportunity to share my drawing tools and techniques with the attendees. It is a fantastic group of 30 teachers and presenters.
My class is "Mastering Graphite: Pencils, Techniques & Materials" and I have uploaded a PDF of the tools that you will have access to once you have registered. I have included two reference photos I took of animal friends who share the area around our lot which will be the subject of the class.
Are you working or busy and can’t attend the weekday sessions? If you register at a certain level, you will have access to all the presentations until April 2024.
New Drawing Course Launch
My 6-week drawing course with Etchr is launching in November. In this course, “Drawing Animals in Graphite”, I will cover all the tools I use, and we will move into observational anatomy, textures, composition, and proportions ending with a piece of your choosing. The final session will be an open critique of any work you want to submit. It will be recorded and will be available on the Etchr platform whenever you need it ;-)
Take care of yourself and each other,
-Mike
