Bare, this class is through the Lifelong Learning College. Fortunately, I have my catalog handy:
Beginning Oil (or Acrylic) Painting for the Terrified
Teacher: Pat Ford ISEA-NF, FWS
This is a class for beginners as well as someone who wants to learn to paint without constant supervision. You may use oils or acrylic paints -- the first class will help you make an educated choice. You will learn how to use your supplies and WHY you use those particular materials. You will learn the proper way to approach any subject from the ground up as you lay a good foundation for your painting and then carry it through to completion. Color mixing and finishing framing will also be covered in the class. You will be able to choose your own subject matter. You will be responsible for providing your own materials and easel. (although you can work off a table) Supply list will be covered in the first class. Bring a pencil and paper to first class.
6 Weeks
Fee: $87
Lake Miona Stars & Stripes
Thursday Feb 16 - Mar 22 9-11 am
There are also a dozen
one-day Bob Ross classes (Thursdays 11:30-3:30through May) taught by Carolee McReynolds for $46 each
Creating Oil or Acrylic Paintings
Teacher: Russell O'Brien has a series of 4-week classes from 1-3 on Fridays for $61. The classes run through the end of June, so you could probably find one that fits your schedule...
During this course individual attention is given to students in the basics of painting such as perspective, color, composition, brush stroke, and the business of art is taught while creating a painting in either the oil or acrylic media. The student will supply his/her own subject matter, such as flowers, landscapes, or seascapes, as all students create a different painting at the same time. No portraits will be taught until the student acquires knowledge of the basics of painting.
There is also (through the College) a
workshop with artist Roger Bansemer March 8-9 Acrylic/Oil 9-4 $262
www.bansemer.com
This class is about how to see with an artist's eye and not about technical ability. Roger says, "Let's enjoy the process and not worry about the results."
And that's my typing practice for today. I will go soak my fingers in ice
