This is an introductory class, for beginners with no previous experience in art or painting.
This year students will have the choice of a two day or three day workshop, to better accommodate the time each person can dedicate. The three day workshop will begin on Friday morning, and students choosing a two day workshop will begin on Saturday morning. The same lessons will continue and evolve for each student based on their abilities. Some students will benefit from a recap of the foundation lessons, but everyone will have a unique and personally challenging experience.
All supplies will be included in the cost of the workshop, including a full assortment of paints, brushes, a hardwood palette and palette knife, as well as several painting surfaces. Easels, stools and individual worktables will be provided so the students will have every bit of the same early studio experiences I had as a young student. Each student will keep all tools and unused materials, including their palette, and will have everything they need to continue their studies independently after the conclusion of the workshop. Subsequent enrollment can be made with the cost of materials deducted from the total fee, to allow students to continue their studies and pick up again with the next workshop.
The goal of the workshop is not to create finished paintings, but to gain an understanding of some of the same tools and techniques used by many of the most famous painters throughout art history. For beginners, these could be the first steps to a lifelong study, and for more seasoned painters this will only add to an understanding of the amazing range of possibilities with color.
