Over the past several months I have been toying with the idea of taking some traditional painting classes or figure drawing classes somewhere. As it turns out, while I was looking through the internet for such a place in L.A. to take a few classes I came across The Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art (great website check it out <a title="http://www.laafa.org/&10;CTRL + Click to follow link" href="http://www.laafa.com/">www.laafa.com</a> or <a href="http://www.myspace.com/laafa">www.myspace.com/laafa</a> ). So three weeks ago the were holding an open house event and I decided to attend and check out the studio. To put it lightly I was blown away at the quality of work of the staff and students there. So much so that I decided to sign up for 4 classes (the fourth class was 50% off ). Classes just started this past Monday and all the teachers are great! I can't wait for the next classes. Time to sharpen some Conte pencils and get back to my smooth news print!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2592142837638754153-7087012531082002938?l=josepharsenault.blogspot.com'/></div>jfarsenaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07886940016243791144noreply@blogger.com
