Course Description:
Ron will continue working with students who wish to work on portraits. It is easier doing these projects one-on-one. Bring a photocopy of the person you wish to paint and I will coach you individually.
The same goes if you have a personal photo you want to work from and develop your own composition. Again we can work individually with these subjects as well.
I will have images to work from and will gladly entertain that. If you bring your own images please bring two copies. I know that EPAA would be happy to make prints for us. You will need to provide the images as soon as possible to me and I will get them done as a group from EPAA.
NEW STUDENTS: If we have someone new to the medium of their choice I will work with them by doing the same image. I prefer landscapes because it gives us a common image to work from and grow your talent. I will supply the image for the landscape painting for those wanting to work along with me. I will work one-on-one with both the beginner and the advanced students in watercolor, acrylic or oils. Painting is fun and very rewarding.
We will learn the principles of drawing, composition and color, light and shadows (color value), brushwork, movement and texture, study key points of interest, depth and perspective plus subject interest and explore key takeaways.
This class is also for the individuals that just needs an excuse to find time to paint.

Thanks to all of you. Our classes have been very rewarding for both the students and I. Lots of wonderful work has come out of this program.
