Course Description

Life Painting (in the time of Covid)

Normally we would paint together from a live model. Working remotely, the goal will be the same - exploring painting as a way to discover and develop an image of who we are - but one difference will be that without a model in a classroom you will paint from a reference of your choice. That may involve using a mirror, photos, imagination, friends, family, strangers . . .

• We will discuss and I will demonstrate methods and materials in relation to your studio/no studio circumstances.
• We will look at contemporary and historical figure paintings in relation to your goals and interests
• We will have group and individual critiques online.

There are no assignments. This class is designed for students who have experience painting and a sense of what they want to paint. Size, materials, style are all individual decisions, open to discussion.
