Artist Comments: I had heard a lot about Leopold Plotek and wanted to take his course. Although I found it difficult to connect with him … (we always seemed to be on different planes) … I thoroughly enjoyed his instruction and guidance. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to painting and the arts in general. I really enjoyed figurative painting from live models. A sitting of a couple hours was very challenging to complete a painting. For the most part, my paintings in this class were painted on large canvases … but in may ways they were really just oil sketches versus completed works.
