Painting Matters Mondays 12:30 - 3pm $200 5-wk Feb 25, March 4, 11, 18, 25 Instructor: Thomas Mitz thomaswmitz@gmail.com Painting is important. It is fundamental form of expression and and those who engage in this activity must answer certain questions: why should I paint? what should I paint? How do I conjure a painting from my inner vision and outer perceptions? The emphasis of the class will be on oil painting but those who wish to work in acrylic or another medium will learn the same fundamentals of creating a painting. You will paint on a prepared canvas from visual source material. This source material will be provided or you may bring your own, typically a drawing or photograph. You will be shown how to take this and create a poetic, three dimensional composition on the two dimensional surface of the canvas. It will be demonstrated how to prep a canvas, how to transfer a composition to canvas and how to realize this image in paint. You will gain an understanding of colors and their relationships to each other, how to use color to create space and use groupings of color as visual chords playing against other visual chords. The end result will be a painting that is a living breathing organism. Materials list pending registration. **Mentoring option available for this class: bring your own projects and receive feedback and guidance as you work. |

Landscape in Oils with Michael Reibel Fridays 9:30 am to 1:30 pm March 1, 8, 15, 26, 29 (26th is a Tuesday, rest are Fridays) Students will learn how paint the landscape in oil in the studio (if students are used to working in acrylic, they are welcome to do so). A studio environment provides an opportunity for the artist to approach a landscape painting differently than when painting in the field. Working from reference material such as photographs and/or field studies, students will learn how to use reference material to create an oil painting that begins with a strong composition and ultimately creates a sense of light, emotion and drama. We will work through design and composition concepts, value and color studies, and the use of a monochromatic underpainting ultimately leading up to the finished studio painting. We will also discuss the strengths and limitations of photography when painting the landscape in the studio as well as the use of photo editing software. Depending on the skill level of the student and desire for working outside of class, more than one studio painting may be completed over the 5 weeks. Michael will typically do a demo each class with students painting the remainder of the class, typically for 2 to 2.5 hours. Students are encouraged to continue working on the various concepts between weekly classes. Pay via PayPal below. Checks may be mailed to us before 1st day of class. Full payment guarantees enrollment. |
