REGISTER HERE Fee: $30/class for members; $35/class for non-members This class will provide you with all of the necessary skills needed in order to oil paint realistically. In this class, you will not only learn how to paint, you will also gain an understanding of classical techniques; how to accurately judge value and color; and become acquainted with the lives of past and present masters within the field of realism. Ages For adults and teenagers age sixteen and up. Supply list Please DOWNLOAD the suggested/recommended supply list. Please note that the colors Kamden lists are required. About the instructor: I am a classical realist oil painter specializing in florals. All of my paintings are composed with the utilization of a limited palette, as I believe a limited palette allows the artist to achieve more color harmony throughout a work of art. I have a deep admiration for art history, and the technical aspects of painting. Color theory and the chemistry of pigments greatly intrigue me as well. Over the past few years, I have amassed a collection of over one-hundred art history books ranging in topics from famous masters to the documentation of the forgotten Olympic art competitions. When I am not in the studio painting, I enjoy reading books from my collection, playing classical harp and piano music, and crocheting. I am truly looking forward to sharing my love of realism with you! |
