Introduction to Acrylic/Oil Painting
Dates: Thursday Nights, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Great for beginners or artists that have worked in a different medium or have not painted for a while. In the past, these classes have been taken by couples and individuals of all ages (14+). Most students start with the 4 introductory classes, then continue to the weekly advanced classes. My students range in experience from the absolute beginner to a retired art teacher.
Drawing skills are NOT required.
Students select their desired subject matter in their own style.
We are not all painting the same scene.
Each class will introduce new information with examples, instructor-provided notes, and a live demonstration followed by instructor-guided independent painting time.

This class will familiarize the student with the different painting materials followed by guidelines for painting, scene selection, and painting composition.
Paintings are often improved by simplifying to 4 values. This class will focus on painting in 4-values, creating the illusion of depth, and the importance of contrast.
Complementary Painting
This class will introduce color theory (hue/intensity/value) and how to create the illusion of depth using color. Painting with a 2-color complementary palette will reinforce this.
Limited Palette
This class will focus on color mixing using a limited palette. Control of hue, value, & intensity, and the importance of color contrast will be stressed.
