Intro to Painting through Direct Observation
Dates: Sundays, February 7, 14, 21, 28 & March 7
Time: 3-4:30 pm
Registration deadline: Friday, February 5 @ 12pm
If you have always wanted to explore painting but were overwhelmed by the variety of colors, brushes, and mediums available to you, or you just want a refresher on the fundamentals of color theory and composition, this class will help you develop strategies to have success with painting. Experiment with the richness of colors and how light works, strategies for handling and controlling paint as a medium, and the fundamentals of composition. Working through direct observational painting and from photographic references, we will build a foundation for creating successful and beautiful paintings.
Format: via Zoom (a zoom link will be sent a few days before the first class).
Dylan Evans Weiler holds a BFA from Northern Michigan University and earned his Master of Fine Arts from Laguna College of Art and Design. His primary focus during his studies was on painting, but his practice includes a diverse set of media including printmaking, historical photographic process, sound, and installation to name a few. He brings together traditional and new media to create a more engaging experience for the audience.
