Wednesday evenings
March 21-May 7 (skip April 4)
6-9 p.m.A strong foundation and good preparation are essential for taking on a large empty canvas.  In this six week class, Brett will take you step by step through the process he uses to take a landscape from preliminary studies to finished painting ready for the frame. Emphasis will be on the basic fundamentals of composition, design, color, value, edges and drawing.  Week one will begin with understanding and interpreting photos and field sketches. Week two follows with laying in the foundation of the larger painting. week three will continue with laying in the painting and developing color harmony. The following weeks will involve reworking areas of the painting as necessary with the idea that painting is a series of decisions and corrections. Developing and understanding good practices in the studio will also benefit students in their future outdoor plein air work. Throughout the course Brett will lecture and demonstrate as well as work with individual students as they paint. If time permits we will conclude the final week with a night painting excursion.
Cost : $215

May 17-19, 2012
This is a three day intensive workshop which will be held primarily outdoors. This course is perfect for the beginner as well as intermediate student, and is open to all levels.  Primary focus of the workshop will be on developing strong compositions and the importance of value, and color harmony and understanding your palette. We will focus on learning to see and paint shapes, color and value rather than specific objects. We will discuss the necessary tools and approach required for plein air painting. Use of the proper tools, preliminary study and strong composition are essential to achieving a successful painting.  Brett will be demonstrating on location at least two of the three days and then work one on one with each student to discuss personal development and goals.  Discussion will also include techniques for enhancing and touching up paintings back in the studio.  This course is designed to help the student build confidence and a stronger foundation in their work.
Cost: $375
