Mon. 6:00 - 8:50 pm (June 25 - Aug. 13)

This course will help the beginning and intermediate painter make quick critical decisions about composition, form, color, tone, and scale using an alla prima technique. Students will learn how to build an oil painting within a short window of time while helping define personal expression. Through direct observational study, the student will apply traditional painting skills, such as controlled brushwork and accurate color mixing, in creating a small oil sketch during each class. There will be discussion of materials, preparation of painting surfaces, color theory, and an introduction to artists who work in this method. Each class will begin with quick sketches to define composition and continue to build the painting by blocking in shadow and working up to the highlights.
