Topics include:

– how to use, blend and apply paint in an effective, efficient and organized manner to create a finished composition

– brushes and their uses, cleaning and care

– color theory, where it differs in practical application, and mixing to achieve different colors and shades

Part 2: January 26, 2021

Building on the basic knowledge of paint, brushes, color and mixing from Beginning Painting Part I, this
introductory level class will teach the basic mechanics of creating a composition in opaque media
working from a tabletop still-life setup.
Topics include:
– how to plan and sketch out a composition prior to applying paint
– how to apply paint in an ordered manner through a logic sequence of layers
– sense of depth through shadows and highlights

Ever find yourself looking at your drawing or painting disappointedly and thinking “something about it looks ‘funny'” — but not knowing what that is and so lost as to what to do about it and make it look “right”? Sometimes simply “eyeballing”, “guestimating”, and “freehanding” does not result in an accurate representation of what you see in front of you.

This 3-week drawing class is intended to help you to learn and practice techniques to more accurately render shape, size and position of objects relative to each other in your efforts whether two-dimensional in drawing, painting or prints or three-dimensional in sculpture by applying these simple methods. Most frequently this is the result of not understanding the basic principles of linear perspective — how the appearance of objects changes depending on the angle they are viewed from and how they recede in space — and proportion, shape, size and position of objects relative to each other. Learn to understand how these principles apply to the visual world and more accurately represent three-dimensional space on a two dimensional surface.

Charcoal can be messy; please dress accordingly.

Materials will be provided for in-class use, however students may wish to have their own supply as well:

newsprint
vine soft charcoal
chamois patch
masking tape
