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.

Subject this week:  #6 Abstraction: Going Big
For this class we’re going to take a lot of the concepts we’ve covered over the past few weeks and we’re going to scale them up and apply them to a big canvas.  Scaling up often involves changing your tools and the way you apply your materials to canvas.  Plan to be loose and use a big brush.  Join us for this fun class! Extra Supplies – large brushes (1.5″,2″,3″), a canvas at least 18×24

Subject this week:  Moose
For July we’ll be concentrating on animals!  Moose are both iconic Canadiana and sometimes difficult to get right.  We’ll simplify by going over the structure of the body and some of the things that make moose tricky.   You’ll find these dudes are actually a lot of fun to paint!
