Oil Painting: Spectrum of Painting (Ages 12+)

Understanding VALUE, COLOR and COMPOSITION will greatly improve your ability to create successful paintings and allow you to achieve your creative ideas. We will work through the subjects of STILL LIFE, LANDSCAPE, and PORTRAITURE. We will work from observation and original reference so that you can take full ownership of the images that you paint. At the completion of this course, students will be able to mix a broad range of colors from a smaller spectral range of color, understand value and its importance to the success of the painting, understand the variety of plane edges that describe light and spatial relationships, determine strong compositional arrangements, interpret observed set ups into good compositional structure on a 2-D surface, use best practices for using and maintaining painting equipment, and feel confident in creating successful paintings.

This class is taught in English.
