Class #620 - Pushing the Boundaries with Jose A. Bedolla
Session | Available
This drawing class is designed to empower students stepping outside their comfort zones and unlocking new levels of artistic expression by learning how to demystify their subjects. My approach emphasizes movement, capturing the emotion, and keen observation that extend beyond traditional portrait drawing techniques.
I am excited to share this journey with enthusiastic artists who want to elevate their work to the next level. Artists of all skill levels, and preferred medium are welcome.

J. Antonio Bedolla, affectionately known as Tony, is a native of Chicago’s southwest side. He is a skilled artist specializing in graphite pencil drawing and portrait/ figure oil painting. Tony honed his craft at the Art Institute of Chicago and American Academy of Art, further nurturing his artistic aspirations at the Palette and Chisel of Art Academy. This is where he enhanced his unique technique of blending without the use of blending tools, a skill that has garnered attention from his peers.
Tony’s current artistic endeavors are focused on mastering Impressionism. He pays particular attention to movement and emotion within his figure anatomy paintings, elements that are central to his artwork. His credentials and skills are not just for his personal development, but also serve as tools for teaching others his techniques.
One fellow artist described Tony’s artwork as having a vivid, museum-quality appeal. His work is not only a testament to his talent but also a testament to his dedication to the craft and his continuous pursuit of artistic excellence.
