Dave Holman

We are fortunate to have Dave Holman  as part of our group.  Dave is a very talented professional artist that comes to our weekly sessions.  He is proficient in painting in several mediums including oil and soft pastel.  With his  classical background training, he is able to capture  the likeness of the models with ease.  He paints a wide variety of subjects and themes.  You can see more of Dave's art online on his blog,  at his Loveland, Colorado studio, Fine Art America, his Facebook Artist page or one of the outdoor shows he participates in year round.

George Coll

George Coll is an extremely talented professional artist and downright nice person to hang out with. He has let us use his studio every week for our life drawing/painting for years.  He loves the challenge of painting from life.  He usually completes an oil painting (portrait or figure) in 2 hours or less.  His hard work over the many years I've known him has made him an even better artist. He is excellent at capturing a likeness in his portraits and his paintings are fresh.  You can see more of his work on his website, blog,  u tube or maybe catch him on one of the many outdoor shows he participates in.
