Teaching Artist: Jim Bongartz

You can easily learn the basics while using acrylic paints! Students will complete a paint-along study with the instructor. Students will explore traditional blocking-in methods while developing subject matter using expressive color, contrast and brushwork. Students will start off creating studies to learn basic techniques in color mixing and applications for building volume and space. The instructor will offer critiques to assist with constructive problem solving while exercising our vocabulary for the painting process. Supplies are provided by the student and a list will be sent one week prior to the start of class or as soon as a roster of 3 is created during registration. The bulk of the investment of supplies will include paints, a few brushes, 16x20"canvas (an 11x14" canvas will be provided in the first class). Students can wait to purchase supplies after the first class, after we go through them. Materials for the first class are provided.
Level: Beginner thru Intermediate
