    Intermediate Oil Painting: Portraits

    taught by Kelly Smith


    You will learn to draw with a brush and study head construction, proportion and facial features using the Asaro Head 3D model and Loomis and Bridgeman methods. As we feel more confident practicing those methods, we will move towards color theory and warms and cools using your reference photo to produce depth and fullness of form.  Our goal will be to work towards a completed portrait of you, a loved one, or family member using the tools we have developed.


    Session 1: Practice Head Construction using Asaro Head & Loomis Method

    Session 2: Practice painting facial features

    Session 3: Color Theory for Portraits from your photograph

    Session 4:  Continuation of session 3

    Bring 1 printed 8.5x11" color photo of you or a person you'd like to paint for session 3 & 4. 

    Students will need to bring their own materials and tools. The supply  list can be found here Portraits in Oil Supply List. Approximate  $190 material investment.

    Impressionist Boats

    taught by Cheryl Bielli


    Color choices and paint application add to the atmospheric mood of these perennially diverse impressionist paintings of sailboats .Using symmetric reflection and acrylic paint, participants will literally print their dappled skies onto the water below a horizon line then add boats whose sails pick up the colors of the sky and water. Simple but tremendously evocative -- and every painting is unique!

    All materials and tools will be provided for the class.
