"Transparency for Water & Glass in Oils and Acrylics"
April 8, 2024
 

Oil and acrylic colors can achieve that transparent - almost watercolor - look with deep, jewel-like colors. The addition of a paint medium specific to oils or acrylics along with the application of specific techniques, methods and color combinations, will result in transparent depth and illusion. Whether painting in an abstract or realistic form, transparency can create the illusion of water and glass, or any subject. Spontaneity of method and color mixing for the subject will be achieved through technique exercises and demonstration. All levels of experience are welcome!!

"From Flat to 3D: The Art of the 3 Dimensional Impression"
Fridays, April 19 - May 10, 2024
 

We live in a 3-dimensional world but usually we are working on a 2-dimensional surface. How do you make objects look 3-dimensional, alive, and as if they would leap off your canvas? These are the techniques we will study and practice in this course. Learning to see and render the natural impression of 3-dimensional life, no matter what the subject matter, will help us begin enjoying the magic of the 3-dimensional impression. This class is designed for all levels of students using charcoal, soft pastel or oils!

"Creating Dynamic Still Life Paintings in Oil"
May 13-15, 2024
 

Still life painting can be highly rewarding, but it can also be intimidating. Perhaps your past attempts to paint fruit have looked flat and formless. Maybe the colors in your flowers have appeared "chalky" or "muddy." Perhaps you've struggled to arrange a good still life in the first place! If these difficulties sound familiar, I'm excited to show you how to conquer these challenges and many more in this information-packed workshop. Learn how to identify and accurately capture the most subtle color changes. Learn how to make fruit and other objects look 3-D. And learn how to draw your viewer's eye from across the room with the 5 Principles for Powerful Paintings!
