Continue your exploration of oil painting with new challenges designed to improve your ability to capture and interpret your subject. We’ll build on basic techniques and develop new skills while painting a variety of subjects, working from a variety of source materials – including how to select and interpret photographic references. Bring your own painting supplies, or see the materials list on the website. Oils (or water solubles) preferred, but acrylic painters with some experience will find this class useful too.
• Plein Air Painting:
Minnetonka Center For the Arts, Thursdays, September 4 – October 23
(8 sessions) 1 - 4 pm. $338
You’re outdoors, you’re making art, it’s social, and it’s challenging enough to get your juices going - there’s a reason it’s called “e New Golf.” Learn simple, time-honored approaches to simplify a scene and capture a sense of the light that day. Most important, this class will teach you that plein air painting is really about learning how to see: seeing space, seeing subtle value relationships, and seeing color. Bring your own painting supplies. Suggested materials list on website. Locations will be close to MCFTA, progressing to spots around the western metro. Cancellations due to weather will be made up according to students’ availability.

If you have taken beginning oil painting or have some experience wit the medium, this class is for you! Continue to learn color mixing as you paint subjects of your choice. Scott will work with you on design, brushwork, and understanding color as value. Students will practice drawing with the brush and explore different ways to achieve paintings you can be proud of. You may work with water soluble oil colors if you wish.
• 1-Day Workshop: The Prismatic Palette: Minnetonka Center For the Arts, 9am to 4pm. Tuesday, Nov. 4.
The Atelier’s founder Richard Lack said that if you want to learn about color you paint outside. Focus will be on recognizing the values that capture the light in a scene and the way colors recede into distance. Composition will also be discussed as well as practical tips for working quickly.
• Private Lessons and Mentoring:
How’s your game? Are you feeling that your craft can use a pick-me-up? Let me work with you on improving your process. Let’s talk about how to troubleshoot your own work and focus on how you can improve. Your process, your drawing, color mixing, edges, mark making, design? Whether it’s your studio work or your outdoor study, it’s a lifetime of learning, experience, and growth. Let’s work together.
