Keith Pfeiffer trained as an illustrator, and recently decided to jump over the fence to be a professional fine artist. His observation based drawings are finely tuned and skillfully rendered, with a focus on line and tone. His sketches are posted on Instagram for very affordable prices. We had just hired him at the League to teach summer teen camps, but coronavirus cost him his day job and he’s pretty darned nifty, so we have filled up his schedule for spring. He is now teaching mini classes in Advanced Doodling, Beginning Figure Drawing, Digital Painting, Digital Landscape Painting, and Digital Portrait Painting. I’ve enjoyed having him as a student in Thursday class. One of my favorite things to do is to give smart people a handful of ideas and theories, then watch what they do. In addition to his sequence of studies that inspired other students to try new things with color and composition, in group feedback his keen and positive observations caught things that I missed on more than one occasion. I’m excited to have Pfeiffer on our team!
