Classes begin again this week!

I will be teaching acrylic painting classes at the Calistoga Art Center again on Wednesday afternoons from 1 to 4 PM, and on Friday afternoons from 1 to 4 PM. Classes begin on Wednesday, September 1st, and Friday, September 3rd.

The classes will run in four-week sessions, so they'll be more affordable up front, and more flexible for people who have to be out of town. You can sign up in advance at the art center's website at www.calistogaartcenter.org.

As always, I will address the needs and interests of students attending each class, in addition to teaching principles and practices of composition, design, values, color, and materials, and introducing both historical and contemporary artists.

I'm thinking of focusing in this next session on seeing the big shapes, and (depending on timing, in this session or the next) making the switch, in consciousness and practice, from drawing to painting. Sound good? I hope you'll join us!
