In this online class you will work from direct observation, and begin by studying compositional structures and strategies for starting off and building up a painting. Spending three sessions on each painting you’ll have ample time to dive into the fundamentals of painting. You’ll explore the importance of paint application, specifically focusing on glazing, velatura and scumble techniques and investigate the relationship between active fields and quiet fields of strokes and their influence on composition. Additionally, the class will examine the balance of values and colors and how this relationship is important to self-expression.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THIS CLASS
1. Composition as self-expression
2. Understanding the relationship between colors and values in order to create light and space on a two-dimensional panel
3. Developing the picture insubordination of the focal point
4. Developing a strategy of the process of painting in connection with our self-expression
5. Drawing with paint masses
