Classes

Intermediate Class Content: We will paint a tree using saran wrap for the foliage. Then we’ll paint a Maine water scene with boats, dock and water. A peony with an interesting, web background will finish this class. Students will be reminded of the ingredients for a good painting. They  are: line, size, shape, direction, texture, color, and value. Remember, Try and keep your shapes in three different sizes, small, medium and large. The fewer the shapes the better.  Emphasize one or two of these design principles: Unity, Balance, Harmony, Dominance, Conflict, Repetition, Variation, Gradation and your painting gets more interesting. Class Format is a video of a demonstration by the instructor during the morning and again in the afternoon after lunch, then the class paints with individual help from Julie.  Class Location: Back Lot Studio behind 12 E.
