Learn what it is that first draws you and how the painting continues to cast such a spell that you have to get within sniffing distance to learn all you can. 

Through informative conversations and step-by-step demonstrations students will gain an understanding of the interrelated components of painting, including value, shape, color and edge relationship. You'll be painting right alongside Michael Orwick with time for each student to receive personal attention and friendly critiques.

Aimee Erickson: Basic Color Theory Class

AIMEE ERICKSON, COLOR 101: BASIC COLOR THEORY FOR PAINTERS

       NOVEMBER 13th-15th

       $395

Call the OSA office to register, space is limited

 This hands-on workshop starts with an introduction to the defining characteristics of color: hue, value, and chroma. Then we’ll do a series of exercises: color-mixing assignments designed to be informative and enjoyable. We take an easy pace in this class, so you’ll have time to see and enjoy the color relationships as you mix them. You’ll come away with new ways of seeing and a solid foundation for additional exploration. 

MATERIALS LIST
We provide: all the painting surfaces you’ll need for the exercises, as well as handouts.
What you need to bring:
• Two palette knives: a small one, 1-1/8” in length (such as Cheap Joe’s item CJPK40) (This might be the only time you’ll use such a small knife, but you’ll be glad you have it in this class!) and a medium-size one, 2-7/8” in length (item CJPK50)
• A small square paintbrush to make clean edges.
• Gamsol and a container for cleaning your brush.
• Richeson Grey Matters Paper Palette, size 12x16”
• Oil Paint: Quinacridone Red 37ml or Naphthol Red 37ml, Cadmium Yellow Light 37 ml or Indian Yellow 37 ml, Phthalo Blue 37 ml or Ultramarine Blue 37 ml, Ivory or Mars Black 37 ml, and Titanium White 150 ml. We recommend Gamblin; the 1980 series is a good value “student grade” paint made with the same pigments as the “artist grade” paints.
• for oil painters: a drying medium such as Liquin Impasto, Old Masters Maroger, Old Masters Venetian Wax Medium, or Gamblin’s Galkyd Gel (in a tube).
• A sketchbook or notebook (please note that you can use oil paint in a regular sketchbook, which is a useful way to keep color notes and written notes together)
• A roll of paper towels.
• A pencil or pen.
• Lunch, snacks, and water to drink.

*For Non-Oil Painters: Since Aimee is primarily an oil painter, and oil paint has the advantage of staying wet on the palette, the demos and examples are in oil; however, you may work in another medium if you choose: acrylic, gouache, or acrylagouache. Please bring the same or equivalent pigments as listed above; also bring a water container, a spray/mist bottle to keep your paint wet, and a 1/2” square paintbrush, since these mediums may more easily applied with a brush, and cleaning brushes is less of an issue.

Steve Kleier Classes

Painting Scenes in Watercolor

Tuesday Morning Watercolor Class 10am-1pm

Drop in Fee $25 OSA members

We have spent the last couple weeks doing Oregon landscapes, which included many water scenes. This week we will add the element of boats. Because of their shape boats are a very particular thing to paint. I will show you how to look at boats like an artist and making them look good in your painting.

Painting Scenes in Acrylic

Tuesday 1:30-4 pm

Drop in Fee $25 OSA members

One of the great things about landscape painting is the way an artist can make the illusion of depth. This affect is often seen in the Oregon landscape. We will take a beautiful Oregon scene and do a simple painting that shows how the atmosphere affects what we see over distance.
