Day-to-Day Class Outline: Daily, I will introduce a topic and complete a demonstration painting to open each day of the class. And we will build on what we have learned each day 

Day One:  The Built Environment vs. The Natural World.
The focus will the built environment in the context of the natural world. So we will emphasize design, composition, values, color theory the use of perspective, and the editing of unnecessary detail.

Day Two: The Natural World vs. The Built Environment
The emphasis this day will be elements of landscape, and atmosphere. We’ll build on the lessons of Day One and introduce ways to paint trees, skies, water, reflections, and pure atmosphere.

Day Three: Looking vs Seeing
Building on the practical lessons of Days One and Two, we will move into the areas, of interpretation and observation. We’ll look at ways of channeling our unique perceptions of the world into a clear and personal artistic point of view.  By incorporating elements of dreams, memories, and pure invention into the act of strict real-world observation, we can watch as our artistic voices make themselves known.

Each day will begin with my introducing a topic and then producing a painted demonstration based upon that topic.  Participants may certainly paint what it is I paint, but I encourage everyone to bring their own photo reference – something that resonated with them more personally.

Among the topics to be introduced: + Intent / Inspiration. +Composition / Design. +Value Design – Establishing Depth by using Three Basic Values. +Painting with Light – Negative Shape Painting. +Perspective Construction. +Color Theory – Working with Complements. +The Man-Made Environment / The Natural Environment. +Architecture – How to Simplify the Paintings of the Built Environment. +Atmospheres – Skies / Water / Reflections / Landscape Elements. +The Human Figure. +How to Know when You are Finished
