Exploring value and composition

We will be focusing on value structure, using it to simplify what we’re looking at, and applying it to a still life, portrait or other painting (haven’t decided yet, sorry). We’ll be exploring our choices regarding value and applying them to our painting. We’ll start off with thoughtful conceptual sketches, choosing a value scenario, then we will paint it. All along, never veering from our original simple value structure. I’ll walk you through the conceptual phase, planning, ways of thinking, and how to execute.

Students are encouraged to paint/draw during class (at least during the conceptual sketching phase), so have necessary materials on the ready (pencil, paper, canvas and paints).

I'll be sharing my thoughts behind what guides my decisions as an artist.

Classes are held using Zoom. A recording of the live class will be available to students who miss class, or for who want to view it again at their leisure.

$60 three week course (3 classes)
