Painting Light and Atmosphere. Painting classes start in February on the 6th*.
Thursday mornings 9:30 AM to 12:30 with a $20 drop in fee. Michael Orwick works in oil, but acrylic painters, watercolor painters and pastel artists are welcome. The essentials of painting; design, value structure, color and how to use the paint are the focus of this class.
Bring in a project you would like help and feedback on or feel free to paint along with Michael as he demonstrates and discusses the fundamentals of painting. All levels welcome.
Michael offers a practical approach that focuses on the three key practices of landscape painting: simplification and massing, composition, and color. You will learn how to control light, key your paintings and create good value structures so that you can achieve the specific feeling or mood you are after to fill your paintings with light and energy.
Working from your own photo reference, you will learn how to redesign the elements of the photo to create a more dynamic and compelling painting. Demonstrations, critiques and discussion of materials, techniques and common problems will be a part of this on going class. This class also covers the nuts and bolts of color, color relationships and how to paint the effect of light and its color as it influences your subjects.
The main focus is on oil painting, however all media are welcome.
*These classes are the 1st, 3rd and 4th Thursday with Free painting demonstrations and talks by different artists on the 2nd Thursday of every month.
