Class Fees: $170/190 (Member's/non-member's) $15 Model Fee
This class is for beginners who would like to learn to paint with oils or acrylics, and for those with painting experience.
Brenda paces the class to fit the individual concerns of each student, so development naturally occurs in an enjoyable learning environment. Attention is given to observational studies, form, light and shadow, as well as color theory, composition, painting materials, historical art movements and selected artworks. Beginning painters are given a structured curriculum, while Intermediate and Advanced students will chose individual direction and projects. The course will also include working from a live model (nude and clothed), critiques, and a museum field trip (TBA). Each artist is encouraged to find his or her own visual voice and to develop an individual approach to image making.
