Gallery Series: Rustic Young Woman

Travel back in time to meet this historically intriguing young woman in yet another of Michael's in-depth composition courses. Experience the entire process end to end as a bold, creative composition comes to life one piece at a time. It's time to pay close attention to those references as you balance still life with figure and costume. Watch, listen to, and practice alongside a professional painter as he takes every necessary step in clear detail, including the rough design, blocking in values, and simplification of the scene. Come as a writer, leave as a poet, focusing on ideas that suggest instead of mimic reality. That way, you can make the scene more interactive by leaving some details up to the viewer's imagination.

His serious study began under Del Parson at Dixie College where he completed his associate’s degree. He then went on to Southern Utah University where he had the opportunity to study with Perry Stewart, and completed his formal education at Utah State University where he received a Master of Fine Arts Degree studying under Glen Edwards.
