In this class, we will study the principles and methods of Classical Realism and Expressionism in a studio environment. We will paint still life, landscape, and the human form from life and reference, as well as cover topics including: grisaille, limited palette, Alla Prima, color theory, composition, portrait basics, expressive brushwork and stroke economy, technical information regarding pigments, surfaces, brushes, etc., and develop the ability to self-critique. This class will help intermediate painters develop the skills necessary to become advanced painters, and advanced painters hone and refine their technique.
