Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this painting class:

This is a ‘painting’ course focused on teaching students to ask what are the opportunities for good design and stronger compositions in painting.

The studio course will offer individual focused prompts and critiques and be accompanied by a weekly series of slide lectures and demos by instructor Michael Sherman. The idea for this course is to inspire and convey that no matter what the material, scale, or matrix you are working with, the foundational ideas of good art are universal and can be strengthened even in your home studio.

Artist Michael Sherman will provide weekly prompts with directives on how to explore art and design in painting or work with students who bring their own. The prompts and references will focus our conversations around aspects of value, color, line, or shape and their relationships in painting. 

Supply List

The ‘painting’ materials needed are adaptable and flexible. Students can come with as little as a pencil or charcoal and paper or a full set of paints (acrylic, oil, or watercolor welcome). 

This program will take place remotely. Once you signed up, you will receive an email with details of how to access the program.

Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.

    Loved it! I thought Michael was an excellent teacher and I’ve learned so much. I’ve taken other classes and not learned half as much. Thanks.
