I will be teaching again this fall at ArtSpace Herndon. I call this a Beginning to Intermediate Painting course because you truly do not need experience to come to this class. You will learn the basics of three dimensional realistic painting in oil. While I set up a still life for those that don't want to think about projects, students can come with photos or other set ups if they desire (please tell me in advance however). If interested, please feel free to call ArtSpace.
Below is the course information and description:
Beginning and Intermediate Oil Painting
Thursdays 7-10 pm
Location: ArtSpace Herndon, 750 Center Street (703)956-6590
8 Sessions
September 22 - November 17, 2011
(no class October 27)
Cost $200
Learn contemporary and classical methods of realist oil painting. Students will work from a still life set up I create or can work from their own photos. Students will begin with drawing the subject and learning how to place the objects on the canvas. This will be followed by laying down large blocks of light and shadow colors. Students will learn the importance of placing the highlights and darkest darks on the canvas early in the process and how to work the values in between--the key to a three dimensional appearance. Refinements to the drawing, color temperature, contrasts and value will follow. Students will also experiment with grisaille drawings and transparent color glazes. No experience necessary. Adults and teens welcome.
