CLASS DESCRIPTION
Continuing Painting: Choice & Voice

In Choice & Voice you continue to develop your painting technique and repertoire of subjects and approaches in an ongoing class, reinforcing skills as you transition from the "how" of painting to "what" to paint.

Specific exercises in creativity help you to develop your individual studio practice in a supportive environment (whether your studio is at home or in class), and gently guide you toward finding and developing a personal artistic direction.

Exercises include identifying one or more painters whom you admire to study in-depth for key elements that you can use as jumping-off points in your own work. Share ideas with your classmates as you progress in your own practice.

Focus topics include the interior, views outside from inside, abstract painting, working from photographs, and a special introduction to painting the figure, designed to make the subject accessible and fun. With a simple approach you will be drawing and painting the figure in no time. Includes one session with a live model.

Advanced techniques include subtractive painting, emphasizing three-dimensionality, use of line, filtering color and value, texture, and manipulating drawing to serve your compositions. Explore a theme in a series of studies and learn to develop longer paintings.

Investigate the difference between “voice” and “style” and gradually build toward a painting practice that is true to you.
