The Art Spirit  |  May 4, 11, 18 & June 1  |  Mondays 10-1pm

6_w300_h241_s1This class is an atelier experience for the serious student of painting. It offers rigorous instruction in seeing, drawing and painting. We’ll address the correct sequence to working with light and shadow, refining form and shape, and interpreting and understanding color. By mastering the skills of alla prima painting, students progress to create art with depth of purpose and richness in meaning. This class is for students with a working knowledge of the medium and advanced students seeking to improve their skills.

Painting from Photos  |  May 8 – 29 Fridays 10-1pm
4_w300_h154_s1

In this class, we’ll use photos as an inspiration and raw material to compose stronger, better paintings. A photo reference is a convenient aid to artists, but they can also be a hindrance to developing drawing and painting skills. Source photos provide tremendous visual information; we will look at how to weed out what’s necessary from what’s not, and discuss the benefits of photography as a compositional tool. $145M $190NM 4 classes
