Color Simplified-Dark Vibrant Colors, Joanna Coke
Acrylics, Oils, & Pastels
Joanna Coke B-A
Tuesdays 1:00-3:30
Let’s get BOLD and add drama with unexpected colors. Experimenting with unusual color-combos is fun, creative and important in the learning process. The first class is learning how to use value and combine different colors. The last 3 classes are for the student to choose their subject to paint from their photo references and apply this technique.

Create Pastels Like A Master-Fall, Helen Solomon
Helen Solomon I-A
Fridays 1:00-3:00
This is an Intermediate class for those who have worked with pastels for a while and are familiar with drawing, the elements of composition, and how and when to use hard and soft pastels. Students will work from their own photo references and perfect the techniques of simplifying, establishing the focal point, and using only the pastels and marks that are needed to tell the story. Explore a variety of approaches in pastel with emphasis on structure, stroke, and pressure in limited palettes applied in layers to create delicate and luminous surfaces.

Color Simplified-Tree Trunks & Leaves, Joanna Coke
Acrylics, Oils & Pastels
Joanna Coke B-A
Tuesdays 1:00-3:30
What makes trees look really natural is how the trunks and branches are rendered. How they overlap, and cast shadows onto each others branches adds dimension. Then add the foliage. It’s important to bring your sketch book and graphite pencils because you will first draw various trunk and branch examples. Then you’ll paint in your medium 2 types of trees during the first 2 classes. The last 2 weeks you will paint trees from your own photo references.
