Course Description

Whenever an Artist speaks about a "linage" of instruction, it is a proud declaration of where their knowledge came from. Ours is a fusion of Northern European, Classical Italian and California Impressionism. With this background we can hone in on an individual's choice of style once foundations in painting are achieved.

The first “initiation” exercise that students in this class must accomplish is our Compass Rose exercise. This exercise teaches the student first, basic skills for blending, glazing etc. the Zorn palette of colors and then introduces the student to a new way of “seeing.”

Week 1: Renaissance Rub-out. We will cover “how to start a painting.” You will learn foundation techniques such as how to hold a brush, how to use a palette, and how much oil and paint to use.

Week 2 - 3: Values / Transition and Collision. We will focus on values, transitions and collisions using the monochromatic palette.

Week 4 - 5: Color Mixing. We will explore the essentials of color using the “Zorn Palette.” You may create a color chart along with the main project.

Week 6: Mixing Black / Glazing

Week 7: Application - Color Matching / Master Copy.
