| PAINTING EN PLEIN AIR with ENZO RUSSO and KAREN SPRING |


|
Held at Greenwich Point, this course offers the fundamental principles of oil painting. In the process, you will learn to
challenge reality. You will also learn the effects of direct sunlight and how to modify the academic rules to create a
unique representation. You will explore the magic of aerial perspective and find ways to create illusion of great
distances. You will challenge uneventful staging to master the mystery of central light composition. The dynamics of
a surprising distribution of elements will provide an informal balance. Fall in love with rich impasto and with the
seductive visible brush language. Dare to be a poet of nature’s spectacle and a visual wizard. In case of rain or
other natural disturbances, the class will be held on the following day. Call office for more information. |

| THE NATURAL WAY OF DRAWING with KATHIE MILLIGAN |
| |
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

Basic drawing techniques for transferring the image from

should have some basic training in painting as a prerequisite. |

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.
