The A-Z of Successful Painting with Anne Graham

THE PAINTING CLINIC

The A - Z of starting up and creating a successful painting.

A fully interactive class via Zoom

From setting up and lighting your subject to exploring various painting techniques and types of tools, we will discuss the merit of soft edge versus hard edge, different painting surfaces, painting mediums, composition, value and color. Paint from your own still life set up or photographic reference. This course will include demos on laying out a sensible palette, mixing color and various ways of applying paint as well as examples of both classic and contemporary artists. Each week the class will start with instruction on a different element, mentioned above, then I’ll set a problem for you to consider, whether it be working with a limited palette or trying various painting techniques. Each class will include one-on-one discussion on your progress and any questions you may have about your work.

Guidelines for Video Communication

By clicking the 'Add to Cart' button, you are agreeing to our Video Conferencing Guidelines.

1. Remember that any audio/video communication may involve two-way camera and audio usage. This means that the instructor will need to see students’ work and speak with them about it, and may also be able to see and hear what is occurring in the student’s home.

2. Do not make audio or video recordings of lessons. Without the permission of the instructor, Wayne Art Center and other lesson participants, this may be illegal.

3. Do not provide access to the lesson to anyone other than the registered participant.

4. Maintain the confidentiality of other students if you or your child are participating in a group lesson. All individuals participating may be able to see and hear what is occurring in your home, including what everyone is wearing, just as you may see and hear what is occurring in their home.

5. If that makes you uncomfortable, you are encouraged to set the video conference up so that only the student is visible, sitting in front of a wall.

6. Wayne Art Center reserves the right to make audio and video recordings of all lessons. Any such recordings will be the sole property of Wayne Art Center, and may be retained, used, or disposed of in its discretion, subject to applicable laws.

*Registration for a class is for one participant. If you have more than one person participating from your household please register them each individually.
