Learning to See
Why this class
Over the years, I’ve taken workshops, studied with painters I deeply admire, and collected the lessons that changed the way I draw and paint. Some were big ideas. Others were tiny pieces of advice that suddenly made something click.
Learning to See is an ongoing foundations class for anyone who wants to build stronger drawing and painting skills, whether you’re just beginning or have been painting for years.
We’ll work through the skills I return to again and again in my own studio practice: accurate drawing and proportion, shape and design, value, light, form, color mixing, edges, depth, composition, and painting from life.
We’ll work through these ideas together, with plenty of demonstration, practice, and room to ask questions.
I believe drawing and painting are learned skills. You do not have to arrive already knowing how to do this.
There is a path. Having a guide along it helps.
November Focus
Learning to See: Painting the Landscape — Depth, Edges & Composition
We will explore hard/soft/lost edges, atmospheric perspective and other ways to create depth, composition and cropping, then bring those ideas together in a small landscape painting. New students can join without having taken every previous class.
Tuition & Enrollment
No classes are available right now. Stay tuned for updates.
Each month focuses on a different drawing or painting concept.
You can join for one month at a time or choose recurring monthly enrollment to keep your seat automatically.
Lessons build on one another, but each month will have its own focus, so new students can join throughout the year.
All materials needed for work completed during class are provided.
If you would like to continue working on assignments at home, you may want to purchase your own supplies for homework or additional practice.
After each class, students will receive the week’s assignment and a summary of the concepts covered, along with additional notes or resources when helpful.
