Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art - Van Saro

I had the fortunate experience of painting with Van Saro at LAAFA a few weeks ago.  I really love his painting style.  His paintings all have a message and he's got a background in grafitti art, which I love.  I grew up in the city and around people like Van.  I knew he would be someone I could relate to on many levels and he was indeed!  Van is not scheduled to teach any upcoming classes at LAAFA since he's got so much work so  I feel lucky to have had the time I had with him.  I got alot out of our time together and I feel I'm really on the right track with my art. 
Here's a few shots from my iPhone of the class. 
Live the dream!
This is one of Van's pieces.  So LA! *love*
