6 WEEK CLASS

This course, with a four hour format, is for serious artists of all levels from beginning through advanced.  Guidance will be offered on issues such as composition, color, tools and techniques, but the emphasis of the course will be on thinking creatively.  Individual attention will be available whenever needed.  The course will include a group discussion of the students' works.  A former abstract expressionist, the instructor's current painting style is tightly controlled realism; he will be demonstrating and discussing his painting methods for those interested, but students will be encouraged to choose their own subject matter and painting style.  IMPORTANT:  students will be responsible for bringing all necessary materials, including any desired photographic reference (not of someone else's painting please) beginning with the first class.
