“Modern Painting”
5 week LIVE! outdoor class
Tuesday’s 9:30 – 12:30
June 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
This class is designed for experienced artists working in any painting medium who are interested in exploring ways to create more modern, bold, and expressive paintings by taking a less representational approach. Each week we’ll explore ways to manipulate the abstract elements of line, shape, color, value, and texture to express an unexpected idea or statement. There will be a short presentation / slide show / demo followed by time to work independently. We will be working outdoors from a still life or photos. (Either in the courtyard or in the Fire Station with the doors open.) The last half hour we’ll share our discoveries with each other. Note: This is not a “how to paint” instructional class; it simply offers an opportunity for some intense personal exploration and discovery. There will be some homework and each week you’ll receive a list of any specific materials needed.
Limit 10

“Modern Approach to the Figure”
One Day Workshop
July 17 9-3 pm
Morning Coffee 20 x 16 oil
Let’s explore some expressive, non-traditional approaches to painting the figure, by experimenting with the abstract elements of shape, color, line, and composition. We’ll work from observation and our imagination, using images and/or a model. We’ll experiment with flattening / exaggerating shapes, using pattern and texture, and mark making. The exercises are geared to help us create more lively and expressive statements of the human form. An understanding of drawing the figure would be helpful, however basic proportions will be discussed. Open to all mediums. Additional model fee possible.
Limited to 12 students.
Come join us for a long overdue
opportunity to work in a safe enviroment
with other artists.
See you there!
