"Painting from Life" is a class centered on developing skills in color theory, painting techniques, and personal artistic vision by painting from life. Students will primarily work with still-life setups and figure models, allowing them to practice direct observation and deepen their understanding of form and color. The course also incorporates learning from both historical and contemporary artists, providing inspiration and context for the practice of oil painting.

Students will learn the foundational language of oil painting and build confidence in their unique way of "seeing". This class is open to artists of all levels, from beginners to those with prior experience. Repeat students will have the chance to engage in a more independent study format, tailoring the class to their evolving interests and skills.

ALL MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED for this class. If you are a more seasoned veteran and choose to bring your own brushes, paper, etc, that is also completely fine.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE DATES AND TIMES THAT THIS CLASS IS HELD.

There is a little bit of shuffle due to the Holidays in November and December.
