Marc Josloff’s Artist’s Statement:
As an artist I am strongly influenced by those art modalities that have moved me: impressionism, post-impressionism, expressionism, fauvism, the art of the nabis, Japanese woodcuts and you can add in constructivism and even classicism. I guess I’m a bit of an artistic anachronism. (lots of ‘isms’)..and yet I am also a creature of today’s world, so I can’t help but reflect on both the past and present in my work.
Yet the objective for me is not to emulate past art or contemporary, but to imbue my work with pathos, whether my subject be a street dweller or a head of cabbage, because that is what connects us…as vulnerable human beings.

Painting for fun should be a loose romp with line and color.
Learn traditional and experimental watercolor techniques. In this series Marc will again emphasize his “line and blob” methods.
This class has been ongoing throughout the pandemic and beyond! It is a small, dedicated group of painters learning to draw, sketch, color and otherwise express their views of various subjects artistically. Jump in and join the group. Some watercolor experience is advisable.
This is an online class so you’ll be in the studio virtually with Marc. Enjoy the learning, the humor, the motivational art stories and the constructive encouragement. Gain inspiration from the camaraderie of the group and the input of the other students. Get a comfort level with perspective and people in your drawing.
Marc’s topics range from sketching to perspective to human forms and movement and beyond. If you want to participate in a small, supportive group of painters with a consistent dedication to their artwork and an openness to learning new skills, this is the class for you.
A national and international award-winning artist, Marc has also been a master teacher for over 50 years.
