This will be an intense week of capturing animals in
paint. I will bring images from my collection that you may use and
you’re welcome to bring your own images. I will do
demonstrations as needed. Some of the paintings we will be doing will be
quick gesture type paintings as we attempt to capture the personality of the
animal and learn to take chances. You will surprise yourself when
you don’t have time to be timid with your brush. We will incorporate
the rules of art, drawing, values, and edges to make a compelling painting.
Learn what to leave out, how to put down expressive brushstrokes for a fresh,
lively painting that isn't overworked. Critiques, individual attention
and I will paint on your canvas when necessary to make a point. Come to
this class to learn by experiment and repetition, we’ll cover it all!
You may bring
an 8x10 high quality photo of any subject, it could be an old tractor or
farm house. Although I will have plenty of good pictures for you to choose
from.
