Volume 10 of The Artist Collective draws inspiration from the quiet beauty of winter. As the landscape settles into soft whites, cool pastels, and rich earthy tones, we're invited to gather the subtle treasures the season offers—bare branches, evergreen sprigs, cozy scarves, or chunky sweaters. Our first lesson will be to curate a collection of objects of beauty and nature that reflect the essence of winter. Inspired by our Winter Collection, I will demonstrate an abstract winter oil painting, embracing the season's textures and atmosphere.

Taking a lesson from Sargent's striking and expressive charcoal portraits, we will focus on gesture by creating a series of abstract studies in charcoal. Additionally, inspired by one of Sargent's sketches, I will attempt to master study one of his preliminary drawings for a painting. 

Whether you're drawn to the softness of winter light or the rich textures of layered fabric, Volume 10 is about embracing the quiet elegance of the season and allowing it to shape your creative path.
