Gift Certificates for Future Classes are available! If you organize 8 to 10 people in a group, you get in for free! And any of these classes can be specially scheduled for a group. These courses are offered for adults but are also suitable for youth and require no previous experience. Experienced artists will find them refreshing and challenging. Novices will find them surprisingly intuitive. Registration and Payment: Payment is required as soon as possible before the date of the class; a week in advance is preferred. This is so that people on a waiting list can be notified or, if less than 6 people have registered, the class can be cancelled. The day of the class is, unfortunately, too late to do either of these so please register early and drop off a check or call to make an arrangement for cash, credit card or debit payment. Painting 1: Drawing on the Masters: Basic Colour Theory & Mixing. (2 day workshop) This “forgery” is by a grade 11 art student using #2 school block paints as guache on 8"x10" manilla drawing paper. Learn to draw precisely from an image (a great and classic drawing exercise) and to mix and match colours on the masterpiece of your choice. You will surprise yourself. This student did! Sat. & Sun. Jan. 23 &24 10 am to 4 pm $130 includes materials. Instructor: Dorte Froslev This is the 5th in my series but, as with all the classes, it isn't necessary to have taken the others in order to benefit from this one. In this class you will choose a section of a laminated art card of a famous painting. You will systematically transfer it to 8"x10" paper using classic drawing methods. We will then do some basic colour theory and a colour exercise using gouache block paints. (You'll be surprised what a nice medium it is when it is used correctly!) Then you will paint your "forgery"! I have many examples of student work to impress you and give you confidence. I was often impressed at the ambitious choices students made, like the one shown, and the awesome results. Drawing 1: Basic Perceptual Drawing or Some ways to tell your left brain to just shut up! Next offering TBA $80 includes materials. Instructor: Dorte Froslev This workshop is about seeing because drawing is about seeing- and believing what you see! This is not a workshop in techniques or self expression.But if you draw a little or a lot (or not at all as yet!) and would like to improve, this should knock some frustration out of the process. Drawing 2: The Classic Drawing Exercise, with a twist! Next offering TBA $80 includes materials. Instructor: Dorte Froslev There is no object about which we have more misconceptions to overcome than the human head. This workshop takes you through a process to get to know your own face very well indeed and much about faces in general. This approach was developed over 32 years of teaching teenagers. The drawings below left were done by grade 10 and 11 students as the final exercise of the unit. I was always impressed by the results! You will be too!
