Explorations in Painting II
Take time to relax and learn to paint with either acrylic or oil paints in this class (student’s choice). Students will learn to paint from references – either photographs and/or still life sets. Students can bring in their own photographs to paint. By the last day of class, students will have the skills necessary to continue painting on their own, or advance to another class.
Introduction to Drawing & Painting
Drawing is key to a good painting. Jeanne LaRae will walk you through the basic steps of creating a good drawing using strong values and shapes as well as knowing when and how to use soft and hard lines. This group of classes will start with black and white and then move into learning about color mixing and color temperatures. This is a class that will help you learn the skills to move forward into other drawing and painting classes with more confidence and abilities to paint either on your own or along with an instructor. We will start the first 2 sessions in drawing things in black and white and then paint the same subject in color the last 2 weeks.
Encaustic Painting Basics Workshop
The class will begin with a brief discussion of encaustic history and proper safety procedures. There will be discussions of basic concepts of encaustic medium and paint, appropriate supports and grounds, sizing, brushes, and tools. Various techniques of paint application, scraping, and fusing will be introduced, as well as how to create different effects through color, drawing, masking, incising, and different textures. Several mixed media materials and methods will also be presented for the students to explore including stenciling, image transfer, collage, and pastels.
