An introductory class in methods and materials for oil painting. This is an in-depth study in how to get started painting. You learn how to set-up your palette, mix colors, see and draw from life. Special emphasis will be placed on the different stages of the painting, thumbnail sketch through finished painting. Color theory and color mixing will be stressed. |

Advanced painting techniques and concepts. Class is by invitation. New students must present a portfolio of recent work to be considered for this class. |

| Creative Landscape |
In this individualized on-going class, we explore contemporary painting ideas. We cover intent and message, materials, methods, and design. This is a student-directed course and will cover any contemporary concept and/or landscape approach you are interested in pursuing. Color-Information-Application are the mantra I use to inspire and direct this fascinating class. Artists bring their own canvases. |

This step-by-step class is designed to provide indepth instruction for the intermediate and experienced landscape painter. Artists will be presented with a methodical approach to landscape painting. With an emphasis on careful observation and references to landscape tradition, students will consider issues including color unity as well as picture structure, form and space. |

| Open Class |
This is a student directed class. In this on-going class the student comes to us with his/her own ideas, concerns, and needs. We address each of these and together construct a curriculum that meets these goals. This class is ideal for the student that may wish to have more autonomy and control over their art class instruction. |
