Inspired by the timeless work of Edgar Degas, this edition explores movement, form, and the quiet grace behind the art.

We'll draw a Master Study of one of Degas' dancers in pastels, capturing his expressive lines and attention to the subtle elegance of the human form. In the spirit of Degas, this volume is about honoring the process—capturing the energy in small, unpolished moments and letting them guide your work. Whether sketching dancers or reflecting on the shift in seasons, Volume 8 invites you to celebrate the rhythm and flow of your creative practice.
The Artist Collective - Volume 9
Volume 9 of The Artist Collective invites you to embrace November's soft light and quiet beauty. As the days grow shorter, this edition focuses on capturing the delicate balance of shadow and light inspired by the luminous works of Joaquín Sorolla. Known as the "Master of Light," Sorolla's paintings celebrate fleeting moments—sunlit gardens, reflective water, and intimate portraits that feel alive with color and warmth.
I'll guide you through an abstract interpretation of one of Sorolla's iconic garden paintings, encouraging you to explore value, color, and movement more expressively. We will also create abstract landscapes in charcoal to better understand the power of value in our art. Additionally, we'll curate personal collections of black, white, and gray objects to deepen our awareness of tone and form.
Whether sketching by a window or reflecting on the beauty of autumn's final days, Volume 9 encourages you to slow down, observe, and let the subtle magic of light shape your creative process.
Volume 10 of The Artist Collective draws inspiration from the quiet beauty of winter. As the landscape settles into soft whites, cool pastels, and rich earthy tones, we're invited to gather the subtle treasures the season offers—bare branches, evergreen sprigs, cozy scarves, or chunky sweaters. Our first lesson will be to curate a collection of objects of beauty and nature that reflect the essence of winter. Inspired by our Winter Collection, I will demonstrate an abstract winter oil painting, embracing the season's textures and atmosphere.
Taking a lesson from Sargent's striking and expressive charcoal portraits, we will focus on gesture by creating a series of abstract studies in charcoal. Additionally, inspired by one of Sargent's sketches, I will attempt to master study one of his preliminary drawings for a painting.
Whether you're drawn to the softness of winter light or the rich textures of layered fabric, Volume 10 is about embracing the quiet elegance of the season and allowing it to shape your creative path.
