This course will also include a slideshow of landscapes from a broad variety of great landscape artists. All levels welcome.

What is the glowing quality that appears in the work of many master painters? How does an artist make this happen?To transmit a feeling of believable light in a painting, and to make a painting glow, the painter must make certain decisions early in the painting process. This workshop will include a comprehensive exploration of the "glow factor." Topics will include texture, transparency, and color. Fear, a major problem for many artists, will also be discussed. Slide show included. Member:....................$180.00 Understanding Paint Workshop: Exercises in Fluency for Artists at Every Level Paint is liquid — a flexible and changeable medium. On the palette, paint can exhibit many different qualities — from a thin transparent wash, to thick, opaque impasto, and everything in between. Students will experiment with mixing colors, using medium and glazes, creating mini copies of master paintings, and painting from photographs. By gaining a better understanding of paint, students will reduce confusion in their work and will create more fluid and efficient paintings. Member:....................$180.00 Most of our classes require a minimum of 5 students in order to run.
