Post #2 for new gallery items!
Over the years I have heard over and over that when visiting the gallery, customers feel really inspired to be creative! I cant think of a greater compliment.

In the spirit of this created inspiration, I decided to include art supplies into the mix. I have been having so much fun bringing in a variety of classic and unusual art supplies!

Most recently I have added charcoal drawing paper (that will pair beautifully with the wild charcoal drawing kits I have arriving soon) as well as some large water color paper and beautiful ink sets!

Supplies: Hard, medium and soft charcoal pencils, vine charcoal, kneaded eraser, tinted charcoal paper, blade or sharpener (any other charcoal materials you may use).

Creating a Portrait from Photograph Reference with Patrizia Vignola
Dates: June 17
Time: 5-8pm
Cost: $120

Supplies: Charcoal or Graphite pencil supplies. Hard, medium and soft charcoal pencils, vine charcoal, kneaded eraser, tinted charcoal paper, blade or sharpener. AND/OR Graphite pencils 2H, 2B, 4B, 6B, white eraser, kneaded eraser, pencil sharpener, desired drawing paper or drawing surface.


Patrizia holds her MFA from the esteemed New York Academy of Art. She is a native New Yorker who moved to Minnesota 9 years ago. Since earning her MFA, she has taught portrait and figure drawing and painting aswell as Italian Master Techniques at college level, through workshops at various venues and currently has a full-time teaching position at Shattuck St Mary’s School. Her expertise truly lies with the human face and form. Patrizia has also exhibited her work in many exhibitions nationwide and has been featured in well-known Art magazines. She has a studio in Northeast Minneapolis where she spends most of her time creating when school is not in session.
Patrizia’s work can be described as Imaginative/ Surreal Portraiture. She often relies on a photo she has taken, found in an antique shop, on the internet or from existing portraits in art history. In this workshop she will discuss essential tools for working from a photo to create a lifelike portrait such as blocking in shadows, proportions of the human head, facial features, light on form and spatial depth. Bring a photo of someone you’d like to create a portrait of. The photo needs to be clear, generally close-up on the person’s face, the subject should not be laughing or holding a big smile. All the features should be easy to see in detail. Good lighting is always best (a light source coming from one direction creating a cast shadow from the nose and a clear dark side and light side).
