In this class students will learn to translate the experience of seeing into ideas for painting. Making use of the fundamental strategies available to painters—tonal value, color harmony, composing the flat surface—students will at the same time establish a sustained, direct and accurate focus on what they see. The emphasis will be on recognizing the relationship between the subject and the space it occupies. Generally this will be still life set ups, although we will have models also. The intent is to provide—through structured class work—tools for personal expression. Oil paint is strongly suggested.
