18 Mar Steve Osborn demonstrates contour line drawing at RAA April meeting
The Rossmoor Art Association (RAA) is pleased to present a demonstration by Rossmoor artist and drawing instructor Stephen Osborn on Wednesday, April 4 from 1:00 to 3:00pm in Art Studio One at Gateway.
Osborn will demonstrate contour line drawing, a style of fluid drawing based on deep observation of just the lines in the subject. He will start in pencil and do about a 20-minute drawing from a model. Then he will go back into the drawing in ink. And after a break for refreshments and conversation, he will add splashy wet on wet watercolor to the drawing. Osborn’s style is loose but painterly.
Osborn is an illustrator, graphic designer, painter and award-winning artist. For many years, he taught illustration and graphic design at San Jose State and was a successful freelance illustrator. He recently introduced a new class at Rossmoor, “Drawing for FUN,” on Thursday mornings.
Osborn also owned his own design studio in Silicon Valley, where he specialized in corporate magazine design for companies such as Hewlett Packard, Applied Materials, and Syntex Pharmaceuticals.
His work has been shown in solo and group shows at fairs, exhibitions and galleries in northern California and in Santa Fe. You can see his cartoons on the Opinion Page of the Rossmoor News most weeks.
Osborn’s wife Jacci is also a Rossmoor resident and artist. She and Stephen have both been featured artists at the RAA Soirées.
All residents of Rossmoor are welcome to this free event, and refreshments will be served. For more information please contact Marcy Wheeler, RAA Program Chair, at 787-9159
