STANLEY MALTZMAN

Stanley Maltzman is a highly acclaimed landscape artist, author and educator. He is the author of Drawing Nature and Drawing Trees. Recently he was honored to exhibit at the Butler Institute. Stan's sensitive portrayals of nature reveal an intimacy with the Catskill Mountain landscape attained through over 40 years of observation and work. Art is the business of seeing and Stan has designed his drawing class to encourage you to learn to see. Class is structured to enhance your appreciation of and for the winter landscapes. It's designed to show you how to capture the beauty of winter quickly and effectively, using sketches and photographs. You will be shown how to combine your sketches and photographs to make interesting compositions. These lessons will be used to show you how to make use of the photograph and avoid having the photograph use you. Over the course of the week Stan will demonstrate techniques using drawing media such as charcoal, graphite, conte, pastel and pastel pencil. Teaching themes will include composition, improvised and planned drawing, sketching, photography and capturing the beauty of winter landscape without freezing.
