Each program runs for twelve consecutive weeks, with one extra for any make-up days. Enrollment for each course is limited and is first-come, first-serve.

Oil Painting: Still Life and Figure

Robin Frey
Saturdays, 9 a.m. - noon

April 12 - June 28
Tuition - $450
One of the most exciting, challenging and rapturous facets of painting is the process of layering pigment to create an escalating crescendo of light through the use of color. With studied control, tangible qualities of texture, luminosity and depth can be attained on the canvas.

Through a combination of studying from both still life and the figure, students in this course will learn how to maintain volume, color and light through the many stages of a painting. The importance of a moving and meaningful composition will be discussed and encouraged, as well as the never-ending goal for better drawing, better edges, and better color throughout the course of painting. Students of all levels are encouraged to join this course, however, beginners are recommended to use charcoal as a learning tool in the early stages of the course before embarking on the study of color.
