SUMMARY:Intro to Indirect Oil Painting: Still Life
DESCRIPTION:In this class\, we’ll explore the indirect painting process—building your painting in layers to create depth\, luminosity\, and subtle detail. We will focus on the traditional practice of still life painting. We’ll discuss color theory\, composition\, and how to use layering to bring character and emotion to your subject. This class is perfect for artists and beginners alike who want to slow down\, refine their technique\, and create something new through rich\, layered oils. \nJuly 9\, July 16\, July 23\, July 30 \nWhat You’ll Learn: \nMaterials and Tools: What makes oil paint so special and different from other mediums? Why must a canvas be primed?\nBasic Techniques: Learn fundamental techniques of indirect oil painting\, starting from a grisaille (underpainting) and moving to glazing (transparent washes of paint) and scumbling (opaque application of paint).\nComposition: Discover how to direct your viewer’s eye through placement of objects and colors in your painting.\nColor Theory: Understand the basics of color theory and how to create harmonious palettes in your paintings.\nPersonal Expression: Discover ways to express your unique artistic voice through oil paint. \nClass Format:\nThis hands-on course combines demonstrations\, practical exercises\, and individualized instruction to help you build confidence and proficiency in oil painting. We will examine still life paintings from art history and see how to use their techniques for our own works. \nWho Should Attend:\nThis class is perfect for beginners with no prior experience in oil painting and intermediate artists looking to build on their techniques. \nMaterials:\nA list of required materials will be provided upon registration. \nPrice: $200 for all 4 classes\, or $55 per class \nInquire below to register and receive the materials list.

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
