'Fundamentals of Painting' $60.00 Location: Los Angeles, CA Workshop
Dates: - Contact Person: Jennifer McChristian
“Fundamentals of Painting”:
The aim of the class is to teach you to think, see, and express light and form using still-life setups and live models. Color relationships, design/composition, simplifying, and the benefits of painting indoors/outdoors will be discussed, as well as how to design and build a painting that carries an emotional impact.
The class will offer demonstrations and individual instruction for the student who is beginning to paint in oil. We will focus on values, shapes, edges, and color as they relate to painting, working wet into wet to complete a painting in one session.
The venue varies from working on your own project to class exercises, an occasional live model, movie, slide presentation, etc.
The three hour class runs from 7 to 10 pm on Tuesday nights. The fee is $60.00 for three hours.
For registration details and required materials please call (213) 453-2818 (ask for Jennifer)
