SUMMARY:Turning Heads: Intro to Oil Painting Hair
DESCRIPTION:Hair has always been one of the most psychologically loaded subjects in figurative painting — and one of the most technically misunderstood. In this six-week course\, you’ll learn to approach hair not as individual strands to render\, but as form\, light\, and mass — studying braids\, curls\, and coils the way the Old Masters did. Working in the indirect oil painting method\, you’ll begin with black-and-white grisaille and build toward full color\, using the back of a subject’s head as your motif — a compositional choice with a long and quietly powerful tradition in art history. \nEach class session includes a live demo\, examples drawn from art history\, and dedicated studio time on your own painting. Along the way\, we’ll discuss the structure of the skull and neck\, how light moves across complex hair forms\, and what it means — emotionally and conceptually — to paint a figure who is turned away. \nOpen to beginner and intermediate oil painters. Limited to 6 students. \nMaterial list will be provided upon registration. \nClass Dates: \nSept. 3 \nSept. 10 \nSept. 17 \nSept. 24 \nOct. 1 \nOct. 8 \nClass time: \n6:00 PM – 8:30 PM \nPrice: $300 for the full series\, or $65 per session

SUMMARY:Alla Prima: Painting in One Sitting
DESCRIPTION:Indirect painting teaches patience. Alla prima teaches decisiveness. \nIn this four-session course\, we explore direct painting – working wet into wet\, mixing color in real time\, and finishing a piece in a single sitting. It’s a different kind of discipline: less about correction\, more about commitment to the first true mark. \nWe’ll begin with a value and color theory primer\, then spend our first two sessions painting simple still life objects provided in studio – building the muscle of seeing a painting through to completion in one sitting\, learning when a passage is finished and when to put the brush down. \nIn the final two sessions\, you’ll bring an object of your own – something with weight\, history\, or meaning – and apply what we’ve built toward a painting that’s not just technically resolved\, but personal. \nOpen to all skill levels\, including beginners. No prior experience with oil painting is required – just curiosity and a willingness to work fast and trust your instincts. \nLimited to 6 students. \n$200 for all 4\, or $65 per session. \nDates:\nOct. 22\nOct. 29\nNov. 5\nNov. 12 \nTime:\n6 PM – 8:30 PM

SUMMARY:Figure Drawing Workshops
DESCRIPTION:This workshop offers an approachable introduction to figure painting from a live model. Working from a single\, sustained pose\, students will have the time to slow down\, observe carefully\, and build their painting step by step. \nWe’ll use the limited Zorn palette—titanium white\, ivory black\, yellow ochre\, and cadmium red—to simplify color mixing and help you focus on the essentials of painting. You’ll learn how to mix natural-looking skin tones\, understand light and shadow\, and create a sense of form and depth. \nInstruction will cover the basics of proportion\, drawing the figure\, and applying paint with clarity and confidence. Demonstrations and individual guidance will be provided throughout\, making this a supportive environment for those new to figure painting or working from a live model. \nThis workshop is ideal for beginners or anyone looking to build a stronger foundation in figure painting in a relaxed\, focused setting. \nAug. 27\, 4 PM – 7 PM (female model)\nNov. 19\, 4 PM – 7 PM (male model) \n$65 per workshop
