DEMO ARTIST: MITCH CASTER

For our meeting, we are privileged to have Mitch Caster demonstrate drawing a clothed model in charcoal.

Mitch Caster is a Colorado-based fine artist and life drawing instructor. In his oil paintings, pastels, and drawings, his subjects come to life with exceptional use of light and shadows, and extraordinary depth. His background as a courtroom illustrator has enabled him to quickly capture likeness and gesture.

Mitch’s paintings of ballerinas have won numerous awards in PSC exhibitions.

This will be the first in a spring series focusing on fundamental skills and mastery of elements needed for creating a successful painting.

Composition of a figure study, tonal values and capturing gesture will be discussed.
