This class is aimed at the beginning and intermediate student. It is my desire to create a positive and joyful atmosphere that nourishes the development of each artist's special talents and perceptions. My classes are about learning the process and techniques to paint anything! The classes are not about finishing a painting or how good you paint, please don't worry about your skill level, beginners are always welcome, and intermediate artists-I'll help you refine your skills.

Supply List
This class is aimed at the intermediate student. It is my desire to create a positive and joyful atmosphere that nourishes the development of each artist's special talents and perceptions. I will begin each day with a demonstration. In my class, we will explore color, value, composition and light. Using each of these elements we will sculpt three-dimensional elements using two-dimensional form. We will be working on a pre-textured surface for the first day and then working in color-layering glazes and then palette knife techniques. Acrylics are wonderful for adding dramatic color choices and really working the contrast of complimentary colors.
Day One: Talk about paint and the respective qualities; experiment with color mixing using wet into wet washes; layered glazes and built-up palette knife strokes. The first day's canvas will be pre-textured for immediate painting and we will texture the second canvas for the next day's class.
In class we will learn to see items in geometric form, simplifying them to their basic shapes. Using a strong light source, we will learn to create three-dimensional qualities on two-dimensional paper. We will learn about the color wheel and how to mix/make colors. We will work on composition and it's importance in balancing your image, and using concepts about rhythm, shapes and color you will be able to lead someone through your painting.
Day Two: Acrylic is a great medium for those that like to change their minds... cause you can put light colors over the top of dark colors!!!! This process allows you to add highlights and corrections to previously painted areas.
We will learn about opposites and how they make a good painting work. Analyzing colors to see the cool and warm hues will be part of this day's work.
Values will be emphasized. Are your paintings weak and nondescript? Is your subject not popping off the page? Today we will push you past your threshold of wimpy painting and elevate you to a new bold and exciting level.
