Monday, January 16-March 5
6:30PM - 9:00PM 8 weeks $170
This oil painting class will begin with an introduction of the basics. The instructor will explain the attributes of various paints, brushes and painting mediums.

Various methods of handling the paint will be covered as well as successful ways to build up an oil painting, including wet into wet, Alla Prima, and glazing. The instructor will show how to set up a palette and will provide guidance on color mixing, especially on how to avoid muddy colors or waste paint. Discussion and visual examples will give rise to understanding the function of color above personal preference, ultimately leading to an understanding of how colors influence one another and the importance of striving to establish expressive color harmony. The development of an effective artistic process will be encouraged. Emphasis will be on visualization; seeing and painting visual relationships and understanding painting as a means of constructing an image.
Composition will be studied not simply as design principles, rather as a means of conveying a sense of space, light and movement. Topics such as, when to stop painting, how to appropriately sign, photograph and frame a painting will be covered.
SUBJECTS
Students will work on the following subjects and the instructor will give a short demonstration at the beginning of each subject section
Still Life

Landscape
