Kimberlee Maselli - Current Events

Thursday, Feb 9, 1pm to 6pm

A great follow-up class for those who have taken a Beginning Oil or Acrylic class, or someone who hasn't painted in awhile and is feeling "rusty" and needs a refresher. I paint extensively in both acrylic and oil and will work with each student in the medium of their choice. This class will help build your confidence so you can continue to paint on your own and many students leave with one or two completed paintings. (Make sure you check out the frames while there - they offer great discounts for students!)

I'll cover the following topics:

• How to simplify subject matter into basic shapes
• Basic drawing skills
• Brush up on color mixing
• Getting past the difficult details and learning to stay loose!
• Brushstrokes, glazing, scumbling, using a palette knife, varnishing, and other useful info! 

I will provide photos and some still life objects for students to paint. If you have some favorite photos, bring them along. I will do brief demos throughout the class (I think it's more important to spend time helping YOU build up YOUR painting skills!).

Learn what every artist needs to know about color. Say “goodbye” to mud and find out how to create rich, dynamic color every time. Understand terms such as pigment, hues, value, intensity, temperature, and opacity. Through exercises you’ll develop confidence in your color choices and create a useful palette strategy for any type of painting. Overwhelmed by all the color choices on the shelves? After this class you won’t be. One-on- one instruction emphasized. Canvas, paint and palette paper provided. Bring a palette knife and a small assortment of brushes.

Warm up with loose, fun exercises as you explore different ways to create common landscape features such as skies, trees and mountains.

Then make your painting come alive as you learn how to apply color, depth and texture. A canvas and paints for classroom use will be provided. Bring several photos to choose from, a light, medium and dark gray marker (20%, 50%, 90% gray) a palette or palette paper, palette knife and a variety of your favorite brushes (assorted sizes).
