In each class we will look at a different style and brush technique, then try to imitate it in painting. First, we will draw (or transfer) the image, make a simple background, and begin to paint our subject. We will discuss each technique and when it works best in a painting (with lots of examples), and how to achieve them. This can be as simple or complex as the painter desires.
I will provide step-by-step instructions and have specific examples to follow, but personal exploration is encouraged.
We will play around with ways to use them effectively, first sketching or blocking on paper, then moving to canvas. We will use the new techniques to complete a piece of our own each week. Examples will be provided.
The class is limited to 5 students ages 16 and up. Basic painting supplies will be included (brushes and basic paint colors, canvas boards or an 11x14 canvas).
(Students have the option to use examples/subjects provided by the instructor to paint one simpler piece on canvas or canvas board each week OR to bring a more complex subject/image of their own and adapt it.
Wear something that looks good with paint on it. All of my classes are personalized so a student may repeat a class and get new instruction each time.
