Light is the great organizer of painting space. Through light and shadow, brilliant areas or
quietly whispered areas, space and depth come to life on the canvas. Whether you are working
abstractly or from representation, let’s work together to develop the power of your work, pushing
the emphasis on important areas of interest while letting other areas subside into zones of quiet.
Come to the first class with your image, real or abstract or imaged, and learn to expand its
potential, allowing distortions, dramatic evolution of palette, and expressive brush strokes and
paint application in order to create a bigger more luminous picture. Prior painting experience is
highly recommended. Students will work independently with supportive individual and group
critiques if desired, plus occasional discussions about art history. Bring your own painting
supplies, working in oil or acrylics or mixed media.
