I started to study at a new art course two months ago. It's called "Developing work processes and studying the importance of composition". The teachers are contemporary Israeli artists Ran Tenenbaum and Guy Avital . They both are interesting and inspiring.
I feel that I am breaking my own art boundaries and study a lot from each lesson.
It's intensive and hard but fresh, inspiring and overwhelming at the same time.
Here is a selection of studies and sketches I did for the last past two months. All from the same exercise.
All the canvases are done in oils, some papers are acrylics and pencil/pastels.

| This is the unfinished final study I did for this exercise. the painting itself took 8 hours of work. Oils on 50x70cm canvas. |
They all connected by their composition to this painting of Edgar Dega, which was the key picture in this exercise.
"The Dance Class" 1873
As you may see I am experimenting and keep study with every new lesson. This course is different from that I am used to, but I feel that I needed that push in to the contemporary 21st century art. The realistic and illustrative art is great but in order to take a spot in contemporary art you have to experiment and go abstract most of the time, So I am testing and learning.
Wish me luck! And I wish you luck as well! :)
