Bone Jones emerges from the cellar once a year to kick off the Halloween season while offering a lesson that is the foundation of figure drawing. This week, I’ll be posing to give the kids a taste of real\u00a0live figure drawing. \ud83d\ude42
\nNext week is the Great Halloween Candy Challenge, an annual favorite.
\nHalloween week it’ll be scary stuff like bats and witches and haunted houses. If kids have a scary reference item or picture they’d like to paint, they are welcome to bring it that last week of October. Think of it as a scary free draw.<\/p>\n

PLEASE SHARE: I have a few spots open on Tuesdays, so if you know anyone who might be interested in joining that class, please forward this along. It’s hairy when there are only 3 in a class, because I might have to cancel if one takes a sick day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enjoy these awesome paintings, and scroll down for the weekly schedules.<\/p>\n

\nJim is making the front steps, but students will always come down the driveway, and enter through the back door, leaving shoes in the pantry (until we get the side entrance done). Kids are welcome to leave a pair of slippers or\u00a0indoor footwear on the rack to have here.<\/p>\n

Please check the schedule carefully and correct me if I’m wrong.<\/p>\n

Please notify me 24 hours in advance if your kid won\u2019t be coming. Payment is expected for last minute cancellations or no shows. Of course sometimes there are extenuating circumstances\u00a0like illness\u00a0that are handled differently. But if your kid gets sent home or stays home sick, please inform me at your earliest convenience. \u00a0I have not increased prices in 8 years and hope to keep it that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
