Current Painting Classes

Alla Prima Oil Painting

Learn how to paint from life in a realistic yet expressive way using an alla prima approach.

Dates: Fridays (ongoing)
Times: 6:00 to 9:30 pm
Cost: $85 for a single session. $300 for four sessions
Materials Fee: No fee
Minimum Students: 2
Maximum Students: 15
Prerequisite: All levels welcome (drawing experience recommended)

Instructor: Brenno Kenji
Contact: brennokenji@gmail.com

In this class, we will focus on how to paint realistically yet loosely, striking a dynamic balance between accuracy and expression. We will paint from life (you can choose to paint from a live model or from still-life set-ups) as we explore the intimate connection between value and color and the dynamics of color relativity in creating a life-like image.
