Alexey Steele: Poetry of Figure
Location: Carson, CA
Time: 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Alexey “is driven by a strong belief in the classical methods of producing traditional realism in art. With classic music booming from the rafters of his cavernous studio, Alexey exhort[ed] us to paint with the beat, to integrate the rhythmic and tonal values of the music into our painting. He is particularly adept at engaging each participating artist at their current level of skills, and encouraging them to surpass themselves by pushing beyond their respective [comfort] zones.

[T]he...Members of the Club that didn't attend the workshop missed out on a rare and unique artistic experience, and as Alexey says, "a nutty good time." – G.M.
