Joshua LaRock (b. 1982) graduated in 2005 from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Business. While working within the music industry, Joshua quickly found that the call to be an artist had become too compelling and began looking for traditional places of study. From 2006 to 2009 he studied classical drawing and painting at the Water Street Atelier under the instruction of Jacob Collins. While there he was also instructed by Travis Schlaht, Douglas Flynt, Camie Davis and Scott Waddell. Joshua's work has been exhibited at Meredith Long & Company, Anderson Fine Art Gallery, and Atlanta Art Gallery. He has received a First Place Award in the Drawing Category of the Art Renewal Center's 2007 International Salon and a First Place Award in their 2008 Scholarship Competition. www.joshualarock.com Night Class - Instucted Cast Hall Night Class - Long Pose Portrait Drawing and Painting Summer Workshop - Cast Drawing and Painting EDUCATION Water Street Atelier, New York, New York 04/2006-02/2009 Intensive classical drawing and painting study under Jacob Collins.
