New Art Center Remote Class: Drawn to Paint
2020-04-02 18:30 - 21:30 (America/New_York)
This class is for beginners and more advanced students who wish to get grounded again in the basics. Learning to draw and learning to paint are treated as inseparable in this class. Half of each class will be spent drawing, practicing specific skills which will help you see more precisely. The other half will be painting from observation (still life and model), focusing on underlying structure, color and value relationships rather than on detail and “effects”. Bold work will result, and learning to see as an artist is the point. See website for materials list (oil or acrylic) and more info.

Class runs 4/2 to 5/14, from 6:30PM to 9:30PM. No class on 4/23. Cost: $335.

Select New Art Center Spring 2020 classes are meeting during their scheduled class times through Zoom Meetings, phone calls, and emails. These classes will allow students to create at home, interact with their classmates, and receive instruction from their teacher.

New Art Center Remote Class: Drawn to Paint
