Winter-to-Spring Class Rollover
Students enrolled in this winter class may be eligible to roll over into the spring term, provided no classes were rolled over in the fall. Rollover is available until February 6, 2026.
The focus of this class is painting from life, including still lifes and the studio interior. Beginning and advanced students will learn to paint in a setting that is both supportive and challenging. Close instruction will help students develop a keen eye for color and composition, allowing them to solve problems and develop their own style. Still lifes will be based on a painter from the past and will include many different styles for inspiration. Beginning students will experiment with color mixing and paint value studies. More advanced students will solve more challenging color problems while painting more complex still-life arrangements.
Drawing experience is preferred.
