Oil painting in the Venetian School methods. Session Focus: Portraiture. Specific techniques for approaching landscape and still life will be explored in the first two classes of the session. The remainder will be structured around the drawing and painting techniques used to develop a mastery of painting people. The class will include ongoing critique, "how to" demos and tutorials designed for each individual student's natural way with paint. Students will learn to compose on canvas using charcoal and then build up layers through darks and lights and then introduce layers of color to complete the painting.

New students can begin with color studies (described below) and continuing students can move through more color studies and/or creating mixed media color-based art exploring personal direction in either paint, drawing or mixed media approaches. This class is designed to build awareness and perception of color, as well as, developing skills in using the three basic levels of color saturation. The beginning of the class will be a very directed "play" with color, creating collages using color and form (no painting/drawing background necessary). This directed play is like doing push-ups for the eyes. Through a series of collage exercises each student will create lovely pieces of work that will challenge and build their perception and utilization of color. These experiences form a solid base of knowledge that is both fun and essential to any artist. Information is easily transferred to any media using color. Individual projects in any media, time permitting.
All levels $68

Plan to bring your painting supplies and 2 or 3 pieces of your finished work to the first class.
All levels/ all mediums $68
This class will allow more experienced students to develop their own style in individual projects under the guidance of the instructor. Critiques and demos will be offered to continually spark creativity

This class will discuss contemporary and traditional still life with a focus on understanding what creates a dynamic visual dialogue in the Still Life genre. We will develop visual intelligence through observed still life. Each session will address a particular still life idea or experience-light, color & form, visual texture, luminosity, reflected light, playful, traditional vanitas, limited palettes and abstract structures. Working with one or many different mediums of your choice (drawing, paint, collage/mixed media). Bring your cameras to collect images for future work. A small fee for still life subjects (fruits, flowers, etc.) may be requested-to be discussed in first class.
All Levels: $68
8 weeks – March 21, 28, April 4, 11, 18, 25, May 2, 9
We will explore what makes a painting a 'masterwork'. Class time will be mostly dedicated to painting exploration by emulating the master painters in a step-by-step/paint-along process with Victoria. An option for the class would be for students to choose various art masters and use their techniques, color and styles to create their own works. Art history/philosophy, art fundamentals (color, composition, design, brushwork, etc.) will be discussed. This class is an excellent way to learn various painting techniques and help strengthen your personal paintings by discovering the various ways artists have created throughout time, including 'current-day' master painters. Plan to bring a 16" x 20" canvas toned red/orange and your painting supplies for the first class.
