Spring 2012 Class Descriptions

Open Studio Painting

This will a class where the student can choose what subject matter they wish to create from. Still life from nature, a portrait you are currently working on, or copying a masterpiece from start to finish.  We will be able to touch on the different techniques the masters used to create their masterpieces, class and individual discussions will thus encompass both Direct and Indirect painting techniques.
Wednesday 9:00 am-Noon (mornings) Instructor: Jeff Hurinenko

Individual Critiques

It is very beneficial to have concentrated attention.  These critiques are set up to purely be - one on one – (non-painting) sessions. We will sit down together with one or multiple pieces, and the critique will be constructed from what has been done to where you can go with your approach.  We will then set up specific challenges to push you towards your goals.  Appointments will be on a first come / first serve basis, one week prior to our meeting.       Cost:   $60/ Half-Hour,   $100/ Hour
Wednesday 1:00-4:00 pm (afternoons) 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.
