Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this painting class:

Direct painting relies on a keen observation of the clarity of form, chroma, and value as the foundations for the luscious application of paint we often strive for. This course will help you achieve that vivid, desirable effect by developing your drawing and painting skills while focusing on composition, color theory, and use of materials which will broaden your understanding of how to create a successful painting from beginning to end.

In this class, students may choose between a still life, landscape, or figure/portrait reference which the instructor will help them translate and bring to life. Participants will be guided by a series of demonstrations throughout the semester and will receive ample one-on-one tuition to help clarify the complexities of color relationships, textures, and line to produce one finished piece.

Unfortunately, we do not offer makeup classes. The instructor can tell them what they missed. Most of our classes are taught atelier style. If there is a demonstration during the particular session, after the demonstration the instructor goes to each student to work with them on a one-to-one basis. During this time the instructor can work with the student who missed the previous week, talk with them and explain what to do.

    I came into this class having not touched a paint brush in many years. Beth was wonderful - supportive, knowledgeable, funny, and always there to provide help and criticism. I look forward to taking the class again in the fall.
