I'M TEACHING ART CLASSES THIS WINTER


Hi everyone. I'm going to be teaching three art classes starting in January. One in Herndon at ArtSpace and two at the Lorton Art Center. Here are the descriptions. Please contact me if you have any questions at info@vickiblum.com:

At ArtSpace Herndon

Beginning/Intermediate Oil Painting
Thursdays 7pm-10pm
Starting January 22 – March 12, 2009
(no class February 19, 2009)

Learn classical methods of painting. Work will be done from your photos or a still life set-up. This class will focus on how to begin and finish a painting. Starting with toning the canvas and drawing your subject, students move quickly into painting thick alla prima layers of light and shadow colors. This will be followed with refinements to value and color in a series of thick and thin glazes. Come ready to paint your favorite person, place or still life. Recommended for beginning and intermediate painters who want to improve the realistic appearance of their work. $187

Location: ArtSpace Classroom 1 @ 750 Center Street, Herndon VA 20170

At Lorton Art Center:

Still Life Painting with Light and Life
Sunday from 1pm-4pm
Class Starts: Jan 18 (9 weeks)

Create color-rich still lifes in oil. This class will focus on how to create a still life painting. Students will learn the importance of creating interesting compositions, how to draw the subject matter with energy and block in light and shadow colors. Students will then refine the work in a series of glazed layers. Observation of hot and cool colors and light and shadow will be stressed to improve the three dimensionality of your work. Recommended for beginning and intermediate painters who want to improve the realistic appearance of their work.
