The goal of the three days in the studio is to paint, get to know each other and prepare for your independent study. 
it will include:
-painting exercises to warm you up  and get you thinking of things with a different approach.
– we will work on a longer painting (if time allows)
– we will look at old master paintings
– We will also take time to brainstorm through ideas and make a plan for you to do your own series of paintings on your own
Already having a direction or idea of what you want to do on your own is welcomed though not required! An idea of the painters that inspired you is also very helpful. We can look at them as a group and think about problem solving.  You will be encouraged to come to the first workshop with these things in mind (though it is not mandatory).
The weekly online class will be Wednesday at 6:30 and we will take as much time as needed to get through everyone’s work, we will take time to look at paintings of the masters that pertain to your work.
We will regroup at the end for three days, revisiting what has been accomplished over the last couple months and we will do more painting exercises to keep exploring our themes and moving forward. We will revisit your goals, look at your paintings, and paintings of the masters that would be helpful.
I will not be giving exact assignments for you but guiding based on each Student’s development.
This class is open to all but it is geared to those who want to paint on their own and are either already doing so but would love some feedback and some structure  or those who aren’t but would like some momentum  and guidance to do so!   The only prerequisite for the class is a willingness to tackle things on your own during the week. Even if you haven’t done it before. Please note there will not be individual critique or feedback during the week. All questions and responses will be on zoom on Wednedays.

Class fee will need to be paid in full to hold your spot. There is a cancellation period up until a month before (minus a 50$ paperwork fee). After that it will only be acceptable if your spot will be filled ( i will make an honest effort to do so). There are no partial payments or pro-rated classes.
