Please check your email spam/junk folder for your Zoom invite. Our business hours are 10:00 AM through 5:00 PM. All course information and email correspondence will be sent during business hours. If students purchase a course, workshop, demo, or recording outside business hours or during the weekend, the course information or recording will be sent the following business day.
In this course, we will explore the process of creating a studio piece from concept to completion. Students will practice painting from life while learning how to curate their own still life or environment to paint from. To set every painting up for success, we will cover the essential steps of creating Notans and color studies.
Each week includes a targeted assignment designed to lead you toward the completion of one strong studio painting. I will work alongside you throughout the process, providing the guidance needed to create a final piece you can be proud of.
