Masterworks Studio; Private Collection
Uninstructed Open Studio
Join us for a special series of uninstructed Open Studios every Saturday this fall, where participants copy directly from historical paintings, drawings, and casts! The collection will be expanded periodically, but will begin with 1 painting from the 1920's, 2 drawings from the 1800's, and 3 plaster casts. Select your favorite work for one or more open studios.
Mastering Classical Techniques; Graphite and Chalk on Toned Paper Instructor: Daniel Gottlieb
A consistent and reliable workflow gives great peace of mind while drawing. Knowing what we're doing and why helps to make creative, flexible choices while building toward quality work. Using reference photos, students will use classical concepts and historical techniques to build a drawing from start to finish, with graphite and toned paper. Students can easily apply what they learn independently with simple materials!
Dynamic Painting; Alla Prima in Monochrome and Naturalist Palettes
Instructor: Morgan LaPlante
Students will learn how to paint alla prima still life in monochrome, then advance to a limited palette, learning how to select the right limited palette to set the mood for a painting while keeping the colors fresh and vibrant. Combining techniques such as washes and scumbles, students will explore abstract designs for a pleasing background. All levels will learn how to turn a simple one color or limited palette painting into a charming finished work.
