LIFE DRAWING – Instructor: George Palovich
Drawing the human figure is basic. It is also the artist’s greatest challenge of artistic mastery. This class gives each participant the opportunity to work from a nude model no matter what level they are at to expand their skills. Emphasis in this course is on the process of drawing rather than the production of “finished” works. If you are looking to increase your drawing skills and progress one step closer to mastery over figure drawing, this class is for you. George will mix it up and introduce new concepts and different materials over the continuous sessions.
The fee is $20 per session paid in cash at the beginning of each class. As part of this class George will email you a monthly Life Drawing Newsletter with drawing tips and supplies needed for upcoming Tuesdays. Artistic level: anyone
Tuesdays | Ongoing throughout the year unless otherwise notified | 6:30 PM to 9 PM | $20 per session
PAINTING WITH SOFT PASTELS – Instructor: Kathy Nardi
This is a class for beginning and continuing students at all skill levels who want to learn the application of soft pastel medium on various grounds. The emphasis will be on learning the different ways of using this rich and vibrant medium in painting landscapes and still lifes and how to combine this medium with other mediums, i.e, watercolors, acrylics, gouache, etc. Supply list will be furnished. Kathy was just awarded the 2006 Artist of the Year by the Arizona Artist Guild and selected to the 2006 Best and Brightest by the Arizona Artists School. Artistic level: beginners and intermediates
IMPRESSIONIST PAINTING – Instructor: Milton Lewis
Like a striking impression? The emphasis on this class is on color, light, and shadow in a painterly approach in the style of Impressionism. The class stresses few colors with the excitement of color mixing and economy of color composition that is synonymous with the beauty of the Impressionistic movement. Students will work from still lifes and photographs with demonstrations, lectures and personal assistance from Milton Lewis. An early life in the Rocky Mountains of Montana gave Lewis a love for the great outdoors that has shaped his life and inspired him in his artistic approach. You only have to type in his name on the internet to see the many works he has done over 40 some years of painting. Artistic level: beginners and intermediates
