Capturing Light In Your Paintings



Art Medium: Oil Painting
Instructor: Jean Perry
Date: Thursday, August 19th
Time: 2pm-5pm
Where: The Depot

About the Workshop: Jean will show how to use composition, color temperature and value to achieve light and drama in your paintings.  After an introduction the workshop will continue outside to capture the essence of plein air painting (weather permitting).

About the Instructor: Jean started art classes at age 5 when her mother sent her to Saturday lessons at the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City, Mo. Summer classes continued until college where she majored in Fine Art at the University of Colorado. Her style of painting has evolved from abstract to a more traditional form of Impressionism working mainly in oil. Landscapes dominate her work but she enjoys painting animals, still-lifes, and portraits.

Bring*: Bristle brushes 2,4,6 and 8, oil paint, French easel, palette, odorless paint thinner, sketch book, small canvases (8 x 10, 10 x 12, 12 x 16). Students who would like to watch the workshop, but not paint, do not need to bring any materials.

Ticket Price: $ 15 or bring your punch card
