Learn how to communicate your ideas through abstraction, build a painting, know when to push it further, and recognize when it’s finished. The goal is to create a refreshing space to experiment, trust your instincts, and develop a style that feels like your own.

Color & Light: Painting from an Impressionist Point of View
Linda Butti
126.0 | Thu, 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM | Room F
Begins September 24 | $272 | 8 weeks
We will concentrate on color principles, application, and art history in our study of light and color! Hope to see you!
Color painting from an Impressionist point of view:
Using oils or acrylic paint, this class will emphasize color theory from an impressionist point of view. The impressionists used fresh bright colors using the color wheel to mix opposite tones to get the desired effect, rather than using browns or blacks. Their colors are lively and bright and very tonal. We will work the aspects of painting- depth, space and form emphasizing complementary color mixtures.
Students can work with any images that they prefer, and the instructor will help each student get the desired effect that they want from their work. Students will learn composition and application of color principles in describing what each student wants to express in their painting.
While concentrating on Impressionist approaches, we will discuss traditional approaches as well. The class will look at master paintings and their approaches.
This class meets once a week for 8 weeks. (there will be no class Nov.12)
There is a $20 registration fee applied to the total.
