The Hawthorne Barn

Twenty Summers is the name of the events currently taking place at the old Hawthrone Barn on Miller Hill Road. Among the many concerts and symposiums is the week long Cape School of Art classes, which I'm also teaching, along with Cedric Egeli and Hilda Neily. 
Charles Hawthorne taught in this historic building for decades until his death in 1930. 
It has been 80 years since the school has held classes in this Barn. 
Arthur Egeli began the classes by giving a Portrait demonstration, followed by Cedric Egeli's class in portraiture.

In the afternoon learning to see color class was held with myself and Hilda Neily teaching.
Both classes where well attended. 
This historic barn was created as an art studio for artist's to paint in. The large north light window creates a beautiful steady light making ideal circumstances for the artist to continue working no matter what the outside light conditions are.

Arthur Egeli gives a talk about portrait fundamentals .
