Introduction to Painting and Drawing

This is a class in drawing and painting designed for those who have had very little or no artistic training . A series of weekly exercises will train the student to master the foundation skills needed to continue to more advanced courses. The exercises include rendering the value scale, gradients, using a viewfinder, sight-sizing, composition, various painting techniques (under-painting, glazing and alla prima), and still-life/cast study. Classes will contain demonstrations of different classical exercises that will dramatically improve your ability to draw. Students will also be given optional assignments that will expand on the material presented in class.

Instructor: Thomas John Carlson

Class Fee: $225. Materials: $25.00

Tuesdays- July 6th to Aug 10th – 7:00pm to 10:00pm
