How To Paint Class
February 6th, 2008 Dia
This class is for everyone who has trouble with painting certain things. Ever say, “I wonder how you paint this or that?” Well this class is all about learning how to paint individual things so you will be able to incorporate them into finished paintings. These are “studies” and not meant to be full sized finished paintings.
Anyone who has gotten discouraged and ruined a big painting because they couldn’t figure out how to paint one particular thing, this class is for you as it teaches you many different techniques on some of the things that people have the most problems with.
I can’t emphasize enough that you must really learn to “see” how things are put together. How colors and patterns blend in with other colors so they look like they are all one. Being a good artist means looking at things in a different way. It means that you no longer see an object as a whole but are capable of seeing all the subtle things that go into making that object a whole and actually that’s a beautiful thing to do. You will find nature opening up right before your eyes as you see flowers and trees, bees and everything else with all their myriad parts instead of just taking for granted that they are what they are. If you can’t see it, you can’t paint it, so practice, practice, practice looking at everything with the mind set of seeing what makes it what it is and how’s it put together.
Although this course is geared toward traditional paint on canvas lessons, digital artists are welcome. Some of our students have created beautiful digital paintings from the lessons. Digital students MUST know their program, as no help other than painting technique can be given.
Come join us on a painting journey! This class is a lot of fun and is geared for beginners and artists alike.
