This talk was given on Thursday, July 15th, 2021 to share my role in the process of redesigning the high altar of Holy Family Roman Catholic Church in South Deerfield, MA. It highlights the use of anamorphic perspective in creating the two side altar niches, and also highlights the use of divine proportion in the main altar crucifix.

This demonstration tutorial walks through the way cross-hatching and mark-making is used to develop a sense of form in a pencil drawing.

A discussion of seeing planes of a form. This tutorial walks through why the direction a plane faces will influence how light and shadow fall on the object. We also introduce the concept of "like-facing" planes.

This studio discussion looks further into how to see and measure cross-contour on a simple form.

A continuation of the "Apple Drawing Series" exploring the development of cross-hatch from contour and cross-contour. This tutorial demo shows the three main ways in which a drawing tool is held to develop different cross-hatch types, from short strokes to long.

This addition to the "Apple Drawing" series creates a very simple still life by placing a styrofoam cup next to an apple and on top of a table top with backdrop. This tutorial explores the way we use carry-through lines to develop spatial relationships between multiple objects and the spaces between them.

A continuation of the exploration of the drawing of contour and cross contour of an apple.

The first video in a series of "Apple Drawing" tutorials that explore the basics of drawing from observation. This tutorial explores the essential building block of how to find the axis, counter axis, apex and contour of a form. The finale is a short project in which an apple is slowly eaten and drawn, to learn how to modify contour of an ever changing object.

The first in a set of tutorials that looks at an apple to study contour, cross contour, and the role cross-contour plays in revealing a form.

This tutorial walks through a very quick and easy way to use Photoshop's "fill bucket" to add a custom made grid pattern as an overlay layer on a photo image.

Jeremiah Patterson leads this tutorial and explains the considerations one makes when doing a quick watercolor landscape sketch.

This tutorial demonstrates a method of achieving a sensation of many colors with a limited palette of just a few. Using just 5 colors of conte and charcoal pencil over a layer of watercolor applied onto a toned paper, Jeremiah Patterson creates a study of a red apple to show this process.

Jeremiah Patterson walks through the the parts of light and shadow on an ovoid form in this drawing tutorial. Taking time to explain how we can use principles of geometry to help us see what part of a form is lit and what part of a form is in shadow. Particularly useful as the basis for understanding light and shadow on the human figure.

Jeremiah Patterson walks through his 7 Essential Watercolor Techniques, detailing the process he uses in his own work. A great tutorial for beginners, intermediate, and advanced watercolorists alike, to refine your techniques, and gain further confidence to control the watercolor medium.
