Class Description:

Learn to paint bold, quick, broad strokes paintings using the all prima technique.

The focus of this class is on capturing the essential color, form, and nuances of light in our subjects and learn to eschew unnecessary detail by focusing on the essence of what we see. We will discuss simple, practical principles and tips for composing our paintings with confidence. Students will produce one small painting each class, with guidance from start to finish. The instructor will tailor his instruction to each individual student, so all levels are welcome - beginner to advanced.
