Learn to develop a natural, individual drawing style using forms from nature as your subject. Through close

observation followed by memory drawing, we will examine all types of organic forms in nature and explore each

form’s unique qualities. Movement, use of positive and negative space, exaggeration, choice of composition, and

employment of light are some of the means of imparting individual character to natural forms. Pencil, pen and ink,

and charcoal are the materials that will lead us to our discoveries. Please bring a sketchpad (9” X 12”), HB - 4B

pencils and an eraser to the first class

This course focuses on development of painting techniques in both oil and acrylics using your favorite photos as
the basis for figurative, landscape, or still life ideas. This is not a class in photo-realism. The class will
emphasize fundamental concerns of the craft of painting -- understanding color theory and paint mixing, painting
tools, surfaces and supports, and the various techniques of impasto, glazing, wet-into-wet, and final varnishes.
Basic drawing techniques for transferring the image from the photo to the canvas will be demonstrated. Students
should have some basic training in painting as a prerequisite.

PAINTING in the IMPRESSIONISTIC STYLE with DMITRI WRIGHT

pastels and oils. Post-Impressionism will also be explored. Due to Dmitri’s other teaching commitments overseas,

overseeing the students in order to allow time for work development in a studio setting.

DEVELOP YOUR OWN STYLE - PROCESS PAINTING: CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN
ABSTRACTION, EXPRESSIONISM, AND NON-OBJECTIVE PAINTING with ANNA PATALANO

For intermediate and advanced painting students. Using ideas of abstract and non-objective painting, students will

learn how to deconstruct traditional subjects such as the figure, landscape, and still life to create completely unique

and personal visual images. For those who are more adventurous, delving into completely non-objective imagery is

also an option based on elements of color, form, and space to structure the image. Different painting materials,

mediums, tools, and techniques will be stressed. Critique of class work is an integral part of the course as well as

trips to major exhibits in NYC.

This class provides first-time/beginning students with a solid foundation in drawing. Working with pencil and

charcoal, students learn to use line, value, gesture, and perspective. Students will develop the skills necessary to

represent varied subject matter with accuracy and expression. Observation, contour, values, proportion, and

composition are some of the fundamentals covered.

Oil, pastel, watercolor or mixed media. For intermediate and advanced students with a drawing background.
Students will learn the basic structure of a painting while working directly from the live model. Anatomy, color,
composition, tone, and gesture of the pose will be emphasized. A high energy class environment with emphasis
on creative thinking, seeing, and skills to express the student’s personal vision. Work from a live model during
each class session.
