This class works well for beginners and more advanced painters. Using the theories and methods that were invented by the French Impressionist painters, a canvas is “built” much like a house. There are six stages in the process that is a time-honored way of making a painting using values to guide the work along. Color, of course, is stressed but not given as a recipe, and the student will find that learning these steps will allow painting any subject matter a joy rather than a struggle. In this class, we will work from a still life, provided by the student. The first class will be a lecture demonstration by the instructor where the method and materials that are used will be demonstrated and discussed.
