Our painting class at the studio has finished, It was great fun and quite successful. I would like to do another painting class very soon. I think it would work best to construct a simpler still life with more challenging objects (eg. a violin) and do a very finished drawing before starting to paint.

I had hoped to start a drawing class on Tuesday, the 4th, at the Museum. built around their figurative sculpture collection. However, I have been delayed in getting word out, as a brother of mine had surgery several weeks ago and remains on a ventilator in ICU at The Ohio State Medical Center. So, I’ve been doing a lot of back and forth.

I would like to start next Tuesday, October 11th. We will meet Tuesdays and Fridays from 11 am to 1:30 pm for 5 weeks. Cost will be $230 for the 25 hours of instruction. Chairs are available if it is more comfortable than sitting on the floor. I can provide anatomical instruction as it applies to the art objects or can focus on drawing basics. I will address the drawing needs and concerns of each individual student. If there is interest, we could also get a live model for a session, and draw at the studio. Should be very interesting and challenging as there are some wonderful pieces to work from.

Do let me know if you are interested and I’d appreciate any help in getting the word around. You can call the studio (419-243-4944) or email me with a commitment or question. I will be away for some time, but, will check in.

Thanks much and I’ll speak with you later in the week.

Best.

Friends, check it out. This features Chloe Stevenson and her mom, Peg Whiting. Peg attends Wednesday Life Drawing occasionally, is a wonderful artist and makes the best pies in the world…bar none. And, Chloe, who has graced our model stand and may do so again soon, is a Butoh dancer/performance artist.

The brightest light will be on Chloe this Saturday at the Dragonfly Tea Cottage on Main St. in Sylvania where she will present a series of Butoh dance events. More info below and attached.

Dear Friends of Art,

Beginning Monday, August 22nd, I am going to be teaching a drawing/painting class for people at all skill levels, including beginners. I will have a still life set up in the studio. It will remain there for 5 weeks during which time we will first do a drawn version of it and then a painted one in oil or acrylics on canvas. I will tailor the class to the needs of each individual student. We will meet twice a week on Monday and Friday mornings from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm. This is quite a labor intensive project so if anyone would like greater studio access, it can be arranged.

My studio is at 210 Elm St. just north of downtown Toledo. There is free parking on the street below and elevator access if desired.

Cost is $250 for the 30 hrs of instruction over the 5 weeks. Payment can be made the first day of classes.

Canvas, paints and brushes you must buy. I have paper, ebony pencils, drawing boards, bull-dog clips and easels if desired. Class size will be limited to maximize one-on-one instruction.

Any questions please email me or phone the studio at 419-243-4944.

Interest has also been expressed in having me teach a class that meets at the Toledo Museum of Art and has us drawing from the treasures in the Museum’s collection. It’s an idea that excites me greatly! If either class interests you, let me know and we will proceed from there.

Below are a couple samples of recent work. I also painted the large mural in the Grand Lobby of The Valentine Theatre. I hope this class interests you and that you will join us.

Now in its third year, Paul Geiger of Tholepin Press and Studios will be teaching a Portfolio Development Workshop. This Summer workshop has become an invaluable experience for the most serious high school art students. The instruction re-ceived will distinguish them from their peers when sub-mitting portfolios to art schools and seeking scholar-ship monies.
