    Zoom Replay – #8 Abstraction: What to leave out? – recorded May 21, 2021

    $35.00 $36.75

    Subject this week:  #3 Abstraction: What to leave out?
    For this class you don’t need to have taken the “Introduction to Gestalt Theory” but we’re going to explore one of the concepts discussed: Closure.  The brain is good at filling in gaps to create a whole.  Interesting abstraction often leaves a lot for the viewer to interpret, but how do you know what to leave out?  In this class we will explore this idea.

    A way not to take ourselves too seriously is to do a fun self portrait.  We will look at a number of different artists (Modigliani, Picasso etc.) for inspiration to come up with a totally unique and abstract portrait of our self or someone else.  This one is going to be a lot of fun.  Come ready to paint!  Extra supplies: A sheet of watercolour paper and masking tape

    $35.00 $36.75

    Subject this week:  Grizzly Bears
    When creating animals their brown coat can be very challenging to paint in an interesting way. We’ll layer in unusual colours that increase depth and interest into brown fur.

    Bunny!

    We take a different perspective on bunnies in this class.  With his fuzzy feet in the air and sprawled out on his back this guy is expressed mostly by his fur.  We’ll go over how to create fur with a loose but realistic look.  I also cover how to paint white animals with lots of depth. Pick up some new skills in this fun, supportive class.   Check the download for the link.
