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*
