Details about this class
This is a class for beginning and intermediate painters which covers basic issues of color mixing and composition. You will be assigned one painting one painting per week, though reworking paintings is highly encouraged to achieve an A. Thematic subjects (landscape, portrait, animals, still life, night scenes, interiors) are assigned to address basic skill sets such as figure/ground relationships, color vibrancy, dramatic lighting, and ways to create space using dark and light or color. Paint the world around you using bad photos you take translated through various languages of painting and learn how to work expressively from a photo. It is my goal that by the end of the course you have the means to paint any subject on your own for the rest of your life.
This is a remote, synchronous class where live participation for 4 hours/week is a requirement. There is an additional online component with the expectation of 1-2 hours/ week involving discussions about painting.
