Materials for this program

By Mark Giaimo

Learn the foundational skills needed to create a naturalistic painting from a draped (clothed) live model. The class covers basic proportion, simplified form and light, and color mixing from a limited palette while exploring the expressive nature of the model’s pose and wardrobe in harmony with the surrounding space. All skill levels are accepted. Students under 18 are welcome, but you and your parent/guardian must obtain instructor permission prior to enrollment.
