It's that time of year to put those thoughts & resolutions into actions.
Personally I always have huge plans and ideas formed over the holidays that I want to put into action in the new year. Not everyone is into resolutions for whatever reasons but I think they work, if you keep them positive. Select what you will do rather than what you will give up. Like promise yourself to use up all those multi-passes you bought! You know who you are.

Bunny's finally back from Japan. There was a danger I wouldn't come back. It was truly wonderful but I don't want to be that guy who only talks about his vacation to Japan constantly afterward. If you ask I'll report though.
It was a whirlwind adventure full of art, temples, shrines, galleries, great food, more food, studio Ghibli and my first time to any Disney park. I saw western art too and ate sooo much. That is just to name a few of the sights and sounds and tastes. Since many are asking to see pictures below (at the end of this newsletter entry), without contest I assembled some aesthetics is a small gallery at the for your perusal if you choose.

DROP IN SESSIONS ARE RUNNING:
LONG POSE MONDAYS 7 - 10 pm
SHORT POSE WEDNESDAYS 6:30 -9:30
TGIF FRIDAY 9:30 - Noon
We had a jam packed TGIF so its of utmost importance that you register for upcoming classes before they begin as there is only so much space and equipment. After donkeys we have easels and drawing tables to accommodate so plan accordingly, bring a back up sketch book in case theres no drawing boards available if you come late.. We don't want to send anyone away, and will do what we can to accommodate everybody.

PAINTING CLASSES
We have a daytime and one evening for acrylic and oil painters where you paint what you want under guidance with demos, lessons etc. Due to class size and the need for specialized equipment we keep a limit on the number of students, its first come first serve, so ensure you register your spot below if you haven't done so.
Things to see: Until the end of the month check out the cSPACE Galleries.
Greg Doherty has a colourful display of paintings on the first level of cSPACE, be sure to take your time and enjoy them before or after sessions.
Reva Diana, who hosts the Monday night long pose sessions, has a portrait on the 2nd floor amongst other artists to check out.

We hope that your new year is good.and that if you are new to the atelier or exploring a new approach this year that Atelier Artista can be part of your journey. If you made resolutions, intentions, to fortify your practice, whether it's long pose you do or short pose with Luke, whether you want to learn in the mornings or are preparing a show, painting more, keeping a sketch book...
