This is a Young Artists Class intended for Grades 6th-12th. Learn color theory and how light affects color with Color Pencils. We will cover many topics like color blending, complimentary colors, color value and color pencil techniques. Don’t worry, that’s just the technical description. How we’ll be learning all that is by coloring people, animals, animated movie shots, our own illustrations and much more. This is a ZOOM class.

Tuesdays at 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM

with Instructor Jim Green

​

This class is about the knowledge acquired and the fun involved with creating an oil painting. You will learn how to develop a painting from start to finish, with a focus on preparing the surface, creating an interesting composition, and getting the image onto the canvas. We will also discuss and practice the application of paint, along with the proper use and care of materials. We will go over practical matters such as the economics of purchasing materials, as well as how to get into art shows and proper framing. Class critiques will be encouraged. During these sessions, I encourage any questions or discussions concerning oil painting, because I too am continuously learning from others. This is an on-site class.

Drawing proficiency is important for all artists, whether highly skilled in a medium of choice or, just beginning on a creative journey. This class is for all levels. Each class includes demonstrations in various mediums, techniques, and art theory, with ample time for individual practice. On the first day of each new session, a still life will be arranged and, using charcoal, I will sketch the set-up while discussing working methods. This class may also be used by those seeking independent work time and space with input from a fellow working artist. This is an on-site class.

​

Required Supplies

Charcoal (either pencils, sticks, or powdered, including white if you have it)

Kneaded eraser

Charcoal or pastel paper (I used toned Canson pastel paper)

Chamois

Backer board and masking tape (to keep the paper rigid and in place)

Still life objects, or a favorite photo to work from (either as a hard copy or on an iPad)
