HOW TO PAINT GLASS, METAL & OTHER SHINY THINGSThere are two types of highlights (reflections) - specular and diffuse. When illuminated, we see highlights on objects and in nature and when we paint them it is useful to understand the character of each type of highlight and how to paint them. Spectral highlights occur on objects that appear shiny and smooth like water, glass, ceramics, metal, etc. Diffuse highlights occur on objects that have a matte surface quality. In this course we will study the effects of light on various objects and how to paint them convincingly. We will work from the still life using a variety of objects and surface qualities. Artists are welcome to use oils, acrylics, pastels or watercolor.

THE COSTUMED FIGUREThere is real benefit and personal satisfaction in depicting daily life in our paintings and drawings. In this course we'll study the clothed figure while in a staged, yet naturalistic environment. We'll focus on organizing the scene using a step-by-step approach with a strong emphasis on design and composition, drawing accuracy, gesture, color and value harmonies and capturing the essence of the pose. Students will perform skill building exercises and time permitting, will work toward accomplishing two finished pieces from two different scenarios.
Students may choose their medium and either draw or paint. Suggested materials lists will be provided on enrollment. |

PORTRAIT PAINTINGUsing the form painting method, students will learn the systematic and time-tested approach for creating a finely crafted portrait from the life. We'll cover the foundational drawing first, spending plenty of time getting a good likeness. We'll cover organized mixing using a closed palette, (the process of mixing color strings prior to painting), the color wash, the second pass rendering and finishing. This is a hybrid course and will meet for two 3 hr sessions, break for home study and will meet again for the final two 3 hr sessions. Students will have the option to meet online for critique and insights with Leslie between in-person sessions.
