This course will ground you in specific skills such as color-mixing, composition, harmony, and tonality, and help you finetune your intuition, instead of relying on guesswork, hope, or chance. You will learn how to create a classic landscape from the very beginning through glazing, and then through direct painting. The first three weeks are dedicated to practice, the last three weeks are devoted to taking our time to a refined painting while using the techniques that you learned from your quick studies.

The torso is a very sculptural part of the body, and to express it with rigor, we will create it in Impasto - a technique based on an excessive and generous use of paints. Conversations about the anatomy of the torso, the cropping (and why some ways of cropping do not work), rich brushwork, and the psychology of seeing the tonality of color will help students better understand the form and the technique of impasto. Don't miss this high-energy class!

If your interest is not in anatomical drawings, but in creating rapid, expressive, yet lifelike characters, this is a course you will like. This approach will create the shift from “I can’t” to “I CAN” through the use of specific words, real-time demonstrations, building speed and gaining trust, affirmation of the efforts, and the subsequent opening the Right-hemisphere - to help you tap into your rich inner potential and open the mind’s ability to create freely without inhibition.
