Description

This is not a "paint pretty post cards" painting course. Rather, it is a program focused on tackling painting "problems" and solving them through "exercises" to better understand "seeing" and painting color and shapes--whether landscape, still life, figure, or portrait. The course is designed for painters of all skill levels--beginner (to include having never painted) to advanced. Andy covers the fundamentals of "seeing," color, arranging shapes and designing space. Students will meet a couple of  mornings for lecture/dicussion/exercises sometimes followed by a demo by Andy. Some days students will be assigned subject matter--other days student's choice. The flexible format requires a five day commitment.

Students may find Andy's book, On "SEEING" & Painting (An Interdisciplinary Perspective), to be invaluable reading and a handy reference book. The book is available on the "Books" link.

Course seats are limited (no more than a handful) giving Andy ample time for one-on-one instruction.
