Two models were available for students today

Shorter poses (between 1 to 6 hours) encourages students to focus on broad masses 
and color relationships, leaving out detail.

_______________________________

Max Ginsburg has had a long and distinguished career as an illustrator in New York City. 
 He is a courageous artist who uses his talents to express important statements about society. He has been inspired by old masters such as Caravaggio, Goya, Kollwitz and Picasso.
He chooses to paint realistically because he believes realism is truth and truth is beauty.

We are honored to have Max here teaching at OSA
(and we hope we can convince him to return in the future).
