BRENT RIDGE - NAC CLASSES 03.23.15
Color:
I've had some requests for approaching color as an exercise before we end our quick sessions. So what I would suggest is to hit up your favorite paint/hardware store for some paint chips to use to as inspiration and reference for your color mixing. You'll end up using between 2-4. Expect to paint abstractly for structure or bring a photo/object for inspiration. Make sure you have a good amount of white to use as a neutral and your sketchbook for experimentation.
Last Class:
This has been a funnnn short course but we are to the end. These have been teasers for what you can develop with a longer contact with the great subject of painting and I hope you will want to continue your journey. Get in contact with the office if you have not done so yet if you are indeed intending to continue. See you next week!

BRENT RIDGE - NAC CLASSES 03.09.15
Hello All
Last week we brought our individual directions and I want to encourage your discovery and journey in painting. We spoke about the need for sketching to develop space in a painting. Now I want to introduce a painter who brings energy and spontaneous mark-making:
Jacqueline Humphries
She uses big gestures, layers, and contrasting kinds of marks or shapes to create compositions. You could accomplish some big marks of paint with brushes or other types of tools like sponges, a paint roller, or even a squeegee (the hardware store has lots of inspirational tools). She also uses tape to mask out lines and I will demo some use of these styles of tools in class. In the meantime feast your eyes on her work below.
