12 Week Oil Painting ClassThursdays September 7 - November 3012:30 - 3:30Swinton's studios and Carburn Park in South East Calgary, AB**One space left**
I've got an opening in my weekly oil painting class, starting September 7. I hope you'll join me and my group of keen painters for 12 weeks that include both structured, and independent class time.
This session will start with a brand new subject: the figure in the landscape which we'll paint from life in Carburn Park in the SE. No studio light can mimic sunshine, and the added variable of foliage, water, and sky colours bouncing onto our model makes this section of the course especially exciting and full of color challenges.
We'll follow this with a unit of independent subject work in the Swinton's studio. This is a great opportunity to finish work that you started outside, or to bring in something that you're working on at home. I'll help you to develop your ideas and solve problems through individual instruction and demos.
Still life will be the final component of this session. You'll learn how to compose objects to create balance, emphasis, rhythm, and movement. We'll explore color interactions and the movement of tone and color. Still life is a perfect microcosm for landscape artists, since it provides a controlled environment in which to manipulate and explore all of the elements that make up successful landscape painting.
You can find a calendar and supply list on my website. Please contact me if you have any questions.
