Portrait by Kristina Guison
Heads up! Kariton’s next drawing class focusing on Portraiture will be on Saturday, September 18 at 3 p.m.
This workshop will concentrate on the sophisticated build of THE HEAD. Working your way from inside out, we will explore how the combination of the skull, muscles, fat and skin make up the head. This workshop will show you how to breakdown all these into much simpler geometric shapes.
Say goodbye to smiley faces, and say hello to life and dimension.
Let’s bare it all. You don’t need to know every bone and muscle in the body, you only need to know where they are.
With a help of a professional art model, this workshop will focus on how to simplify human anatomy into its basic building blocks. Building upon the fundamentals of Gesture Drawing, we will explore how boxes and simple shapes can result to a beautiful human figure.

Join KARITON for their first visual arts workshop this Saturday, August 21st.
This week’s focus is gesture drawing: an excellent practice for photographers, painters, filmmakers and animators to learn to capture the basic postures and the essence of movement. To keep it simple, gesture drawings would make your hangman look like the work of Michaelangelo when he was 5 years old.

– a post by Thea Balmes (one of the talented, young artists that make up the Kariton Collective)
So last weekend, the members of the Kariton Collective: Kristina, Charisse, Randy, Daks and myself, completed our very first ever collaborative project. I’d say an amazing feat for an emerging group of artists like us. Painting four hours a day in three days, the mural on an 8 x 16 canvas was completed for Toronto’s Fringe Festival. For artists who aren’t generally used to having people watch over their shoulders while they work, painting in the alley way of Honest Ed’s was certainly a different experience.
