Painting Matters Mondays 12:30 - 3:00 pm $200/ 5-wk / ongoing class through summer, details here 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. |
