"Immediacy is important not only because it is often the nature of people, but, for me, it is the most instinctive way to paint.”
This class will concentrate on the ability to paint quickly and accurately,a skill which can be useful in many situations. Working in this way, the opportunity to explore Ideas through numerous images may help to achieve a more spontaneous yet controlled approach. Techniques for simplifying the comparison of both color and value will be practiced. Numerous small studies will be painted each day. Includes model fees.
