This class is essential for you. Speed up the learning process, “cut to the chase” and enroll in our new Sight Size measuring for the figurative artist and become a “Classical Illusionist” Painting the cast using Sight-Size develops the ability to see shapes and proportions accurately, by continuously comparing the drawn shapes with the cast. This class will develop the accuracy of drawing skills, the ability to correctly judge and paint values, and finesse transitional tones and edges to give the painting the illusion of three-dimensions. The three main objectives of this class: 1\. Drawing \- draw the shapes of the cast in correct proportion\, beginning with the big shapes then the smaller shapes\. 2\. Values\- Learn to correctly judge values by using 5\-7 tone scale which we will mix on the palette\. We will begin by first establishing the three major value relationships: the light shape\, the shadow shape and the background\. 3\. The Illusion of three\-dimensions: Finally we paint the transitional halftones and soften the edges of the form\. This step gives the painting three\-dimensional qualities\, and the form will take the 3D qualities of an object sitting in a space\. These are essential skills to have in your tool box as you move forward to painting portraits, still life, illustrations, etc. **What You'll Learn** Draw the shapes of the cast in correct proportion, beginning with the big shapes down to the small shapes. Learn to correctly judge values by using 5-7 tone scale. Learn to describe how light travels across the form (your cast) Turn and soften the edges of the form.

WHY DO ORDINARY WHEN YOU CAN DO EXTRAORDINARY? \~ Lorena** **L.A.’s Most Beautiful Italian Restaurant** Take a look 👁️ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DY7oS9HPpIr/?igsi=cHkydmRoeWtic3R5 https://youtube.com/shorts/EkwmMfSFnCo?si=ltgmwQ892lc27CKH https://youtube.com/shorts/pZxMlCjsAp0?si=ktJzWPCRWglynbDQ **Please kindly confirm your commitment to attend by making your $5 RSVP within 12-hours. You will be replaced otherwise. See payment info below. Thank you!** **⚠️EVENT DISCLAIMER⚠️** **Bad Roman is a bustling upscale restaurant filled with beautiful people dressed up.** **Think Mariah Carey (one of the first celebrities spotted dining there after their opening), Sophia Vergara…** A few of us checked it out after dining at Azur just up the block. It was a Wednesday night at 10 PM and it was absolutely PACKED. It has a high energy vibe and very noisy. Be prepared!! **Dress appropriately!! You’ll feel out of place if you don’t. It’s a celebrity “hotspot”.** **Sophia Vergara in a blue gorgeous dress entering Bad Roman. Anyone recognize her friend?** https://youtu.be/UHLMPZfneM8?si=JkxGfHfhycr-AyVP **WHAT’S MAXIMALIST DINING?** At Bad Roman think Liberace-influenced Buca di Beppo!! **KEY TRAITS** **Environment as Entertainment:** Dining has shifted from a quiet meal to an all-encompassing night out where the decor acts as the main attraction. **Sensory Overload:** Expect rich jewel tones, eclectic art collections, neon lighting, custom print wallpapers, and whimsical dishware. **Playful Menus:** The food matches the room with oversized portions, unexpected flavor mashups, and high-drama plating. **B A D R O M A N (EATER LA)** [Bad Roman](https://la.eater.com/venue/965517/bad-roman), an [absurdist modern Italian restaurant](https://www.eater.com/23896397/muffin-top-dining-food-trend-bad-roman) by way of New York City (its first location), has arrived with a B A N G in Beverly Hills. The restaurant, which **opened in late May**, comes from a prolific New York–based group that also runs Quality Italian, Don Angie, and the original Smith & Wollensky steakhouse, marking its [first expansion to the West Coast](https://la.eater.com/restaurant-openings/303308/bad-roman-new-york-italian-restaurant-opening-beverly-hills). The [long-unoccupied Palm steakhouse space](https://la.eater.com/2023/10/19/23924006/the-palm-beverly-hills-italian-steakhouse-power-lunch-restaurant-closing-am-intel-los-angeles) on Canon Drive has given way to Bad Roman’s over-the-top take on [Italian American classics](https://la.eater.com/maps/best-old-school-italian-red-sauce-restaurants-los-angeles), some very well-executed and some a little head-scratching. But most diners here seem more on board for the escapism, which the restaurant and its ambiance — sleek Greyhound statues and all — provide in scores. **MENU** https://www.badromanrestaurants.com/menus-beverly-hills/#dinner-beverly-hills ## What to order * **Spicy Caesar salad ($22)** doesn’t feel spicy at all except for a light dusting of chile powder breadcrumbs covering the top of the little gem lettuce. It’s a terrific light start to a meal that will quickly get heavier. * **Garlic babka ($12)** employs comforting roasted garlic woven into a classic babka loaf. Eat it quickly before it cools off. * **‘Roni cups & ranch ($14)** is another Instagram-friendly appetizer that recalls childhood days of picking off pepperoni with curled, blackened edges from pizza slices. Except these are huge, each almost the size of drink coasters. Eat these quickly before the edges get too soft. * **Eggplant pull-a-parm ($35)** offers an ingenious take on the Bloomin’ Onion, except with encrusted finger-sized pieces of fried eggplant. Dip into the generous bowl of marinara for something that Olive Garden wishes it invented. * **Shrimp cocktail ($24 for three)** comes with enormous U7 shrimp, almost the size of half a lobster tail each. Laid out on gorgeous pebble ice, they’re the ideal balance of firm and bouncy, especially dipped into the almost chunky cocktail sauce. * **Spicy lobster pasta ($58)** arrives as a show-stopping main dish finished tableside with a boozy fire show. The lobster the night I went ended up more rubbery than tender, though thankfully, the saucy, spicy Calabrian chile sauce made up for it. ## Insider tip There are three off-menu dishes available every night, two of which you should order on your first visit: “baked-and-burnt” paccheri Amatriciana and a mercilessly cheesy “side order” of chicken Parmesan no bigger than a compact disc (remember those?). ## Other popular items The [sticky, sweet porchetta ribs](https://eatthisny.com/2025/02/10/dish-of-the-week/dish-of-the-week-in-new-york-porchetta-ribs-at-bad-roman/) are also worth ordering. A seafood tower loaded with Maine lobster, oysters, tuna crudo, and caviar; Pastas, made at the restaurant daily, feature kale mafaldine dotted with sun-dried tomatoes, agnolotti bistecca, and Osetra caviar gnocchi. Faroe Island salmon, roasted branzino, and chicken al limone make up the options for larger mains, which can be paired with vegetables such as charred broccoli rabe or spicy Brussels sprouts. **RESERVE YOUR DINING SPOT** $5 RSVP PayPal, Venmo or Zelle (NOT if waitlisted). NOTE: Fee is NOT refundable or transferable. If you need to cancel immediately update to “not going.” **Payment contact provided at time of RSVP made immediately (12-hour max grace-period) or spot will be released so someone else can join the fun.** **AT TIME OF PAYMENT INDICATE:** Bad Roman **NOTIFICATIONS-ON ARE REQUIRED** It is YOUR responsibility to know if you were moved-up from the waitlist. **PARKING** * Public parking garage $5 after 6 PM 241 N.
