Oil Painting Studio Classes - Fall 2010

Welcome to the Fall 2010 Semester, We hope you enjoyed a wonderful summer.

There are some big changes this year:

Joseph Paquet will not be teaching day classes this semester. The Figure Drawing class will be moved to Wednesday evenings. The Thursday night Studio Painting class will continue as it always has, and Joe will also continue with Saturday Drop-In Landscape classes this fall.

Jeff Hurinenko has created a new class for Wednesday mornings - Indirect Painting vs. Direct painting; see the class description page for a more complete explanation of the class. The Dutch/Flemish Still Life class will remain in the afternoons on Wednesday.

Enrollment is limited, so do not hesitate to register as classes fill quickly. Registration forms (avaialble here) must be completed in full and accompanied by a check to reserve your position in class.

Please make all checks made out to: Hurinenko & Paquet Studio. If taking classes from Jeff Hurinenko and Joe Paquet, kindly make out separate checks (still made out to Hurinenko & Paquet Studio) with the class number indicated in the memo.

Thank You!

Fall 2010 Class Descriptions

Indirect Painting vs. Direct Painting

It’s all about the right tool for the right job. Learn how and why these two approaches can impact the visual strength of your painting, as well as how they effect ‘color as value’. There are benefits to both, this class will explore the pros and cons of these two distinct approaches.
Wednesday 9:00-Noon Instructor: Jeff Hurinenko

Flemish/Dutch Still Life Painting

Study the techniques which made it possible for the Dutch and Flemish masters to elevate common-place objects into great works of art. The delicate balance between value and color, luminosity and atmosphere will be emphasized through the use of controlled underpaintings and subtle glazing techniques
Wednesdays 1:00-4:00 Instructor: Jeff Hurinenko

Figure Drawing

Getting to the essence and character is a vital starting point for any work of art. Speed with accuracy will be stressed. Focus will be on making good decisions, quickly, to capture the spirit of the figure.
Wednesday 6:00-9:00 pm (evenings) Instructor: Joseph Paquet

Studio Painting

Take your work to another level. This course will focus on crafting studio works from studies or photos. Understand what makes a fully-rounded conception of a painting. Emphasis will be placed on practical pictorial construction and memory training.
