Portrait Painting and Drawing with Kelly McCullough

The focus of this class is the portrait. Photographs will be used as the reference. The student can bring their own photo to work from or use a photo provided by the instructor. Ideally, the photo will be close to, if not exactly the same size as the canvas or paper the student is using. Prints, iPads or laptops are all usable. More than one portrait can be done during this 9 week course, but just one reference image is needed to start.

Kelly will go over important aspects of portraiture based on the Sight-Size technique, such as seeing heights and widths, recreating shadow shapes, mixing flesh tones based on a limited palette, scraping and softening, and so much more. Portraiture is Kelly’s passion and she is excited to share some tricks of the trade that can help any level artist create an impressive likeness. 

This class is open to all levels of experience.

Composition with Judy Vilmain

This class is for representational artists working in any media — oil, pastel, acrylic, watercolor, charcoal, mixed media, and etc. We will consider both landscape and still-life compositions.
 
How many times have you been in the middle of a painting and realized that the composition is just not working? But by then it feels too late to try to change it. Or, do you ever look at your paintings and realize they’re just… kind of boring? By the end of this class you will have the skills, tools, and mindset you need to design compelling compositions and avoid all that frustration and time-wasting.
 
During the course:
•  we will go over common compositional “tools” such as emphasis, isolation, convergence and asymmetry.
•  you will practice making Value Studies, using different methods such as grisaille, markers, pencil sketching, and painting.
•  we’ll discuss Notans and their usefulness, and practice making them.
•  the emphasis will be on learning fast, simple ways to come up with good compositions.
•  you will learn how to use Composition to help the viewer connect to your work at an emotional level.
 
You will work from your own photos, and you will revisit some of your past work.

Egg Tempera with Kathy Hodge

From the early Egyptians to contemporary painters, artists have chosen egg tempera for its permanence and unique luminosity. Although an ancient technique, this fascinating medium is still used by artists today and is really very simple and economical to use. In this 2-part class I will demonstrate how to make tempera paints using egg yolk, dry pigments and a little water. I will show how to how to build up layers, using brushwork, sponging, stenciling and other techniques. We will talk about best practices, and I will provide supporting documents with links to more information and resources. You will be provided with small practice panels, and a larger panel for your finished piece. You can work from still life objects provided, your own objects, or photos. As we learn about the technique we can visit the RISD museum and view some impressive examples of egg tempera paintings in their wonderful Medieval gallery.

See a slideshow of the egg tempera technique and examples at https://youtu.be/bW5BnqEW8bY

All materials provided. Museum admission fee not included.

Painting with Passion:
with Anthony Tomaselli
There is something about this creative process of making art that keeps bringing us back to IT! A passion…..a question that needs to be answered….that special feeling we get when doing it…..the camaraderie of others involved in this similar journey. Why do you keep coming back?

The main focus of this class will be YOU! Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran of painting (making art), the journey begins with you. We will together define your goals and set out to achieve them. The ultimate goal for you is to learn and improve.

Yes we will work on fundamentals, yes we will discuss traditional as well as contemporary art applications, yes we will critique at the end of each class -- my goal is to inspire and challenge.

So I encourage you to Paint! Have courage, don’t be too comfortable where you are: experiment, splash, scrape, blend, draw, paint…and sculpt. Don’t fear the unknown. Embrace it. Be challenged by it. Most of all, enjoy every minute of it!

En Plein Air Photography
with Nickerson Miles & Cindy Wilson

Co-led and building on previous iterations of this class, En Plein Air Photography (EPAP) is designed for artists with a wide range of photographic skills. The course involves alternating weeks of group “field-trip shooting” in the region and in-person or Zoom-based sharing/discussion/critiques (depending on the weather) of the previous week’s work with short technical lessons. This iteration will reflect the course’s title with a particular emphasis on exploring the importance and control of depth of field in photography as well as our ongoing interest in storytelling. The field trips will be further afield this time with visits to locations within local region,
    
No special photographic equipment is required, although use of a camera is encouraged.

In the event of inclement weather, we’ll find interesting indoor locations to photograph. There’s so much we can learn from each other as artists. Since many artists depend on photographs to inspire their creations, we will be building on the idea of “creating better art through photography.”

Location: Photo field trips alternating with in-person or online via Zoom reviews

The French New Wave
with Paul Stein

The directors of the Nouvelle Vague created a new cinematic style, using breakthrough techniques and a fresh approach to storytelling that could express complex ideas while still being both direct and emotionally engaging. Crucially, these filmmakers also proved that they didn't need the mainstream studios to produce successful films on their own terms. By emphasizing the personal and artistic vision of film over its worth as a commercial product, the Nouvelle Vague set an example that inspired others across the world. In every sense they were the true founders of modern independent film and to watch them for the first time is to rediscover cinema.
 
All films will be shown in the original French with English subtitles

Adobe Photoshop is a challenging yet fun application! The student will be exposed to the abilities of what it can do to help with overall image refinement and exploration through imagination.
