Garrett Schuh is a fine artist living in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Working primarily in oils he enjoys painting western-themed figures, horses and landscapes. He’s inspired by many of the Taos Society of Artists and has studied with the contemporary painters, Jeremy Lipking and Thomas Blackshear.
After graduating from the University of Maryland at College Park with a B.A. degree in Graphic Art and Design, he spent the first 20 years of his career working as a designer in New York and the Washington DC area. A move to Colorado in 2006 gave him the opportunity to take up painting full time.
When he is not painting he enjoys spending time with his family and playing the guitar and piano.

15. Because we concentrate on BIRDS IN FLIGHT, live models in the classroom are more distracting than useful. I will demonstrate the technique of constructing a cantilevered bird armature that can be used for many different bird species and will show you how to assemble shapes to capture the “gist” of the specific bird.
16. Bird field guides such as Peterson, Stokes, Golden, or Sibley. Sibley’s Guide to Birds (not Sibley’s Guide to Bird Life and Behavior) is best if bringing only one field guide. This popular book can usually be purchased at any bookstore.
