James will be our demonstration artist at the January 13th meeting at 6pm. Anyone is welcome to attend. You can also see his work in Shanley House Gallery until December 31st.

James will be teaching an impressive system of "X" pattern blocking which can be modified for use in drawing and painting of portraiture, animals, and landscapes. This is an internal measurement of creating compositions.

DAY ONE: James will be teaching color theory, and blocking in forms for animals, portraits or landscapes in the first half of the day until the lunch break. After lunch, participants will chose their project based on what they have learned.
DAY TWO: Either continue your existing project or chose a new project to complete by the end of day. Your goal is to emphasize color theory and blocking to improve your composition and observational skills.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

"Art is just a series of adjustments...and Life is Art."

James R.Spurlock has painted and sculpted his way to a very fulfilling niche for himself in the art world. Today he is a teacher as well as an artist who passes on his experience in art  to many seminar and private students across the country. As a bronze sculptor, he has not limited himself to just life sized memorial busts but continues to sculpt bronzes that portray what life means to him and the clients that he 'speaks' for. Such is an artist's passion.  Color, value, drawing and edges,..."art is just a series of adjustments...and Life is Art."  James is mostly a self taught artist but one of the people he gives credit to for most of "the good stuff" he knows about his art is the consummate master artist of Carthage, Missouri, Bob Tommey.  What a mentor this man and artist has been to many of  "the big guys" in art today.  He started about half of all the good art shows, art organizations and an art institute or two. He is one of the very best painters there is!  Thank you, Bob Tommey, from all the artists you have helped down through the tough years to this very day!
