BRENT RIDGE - NAC CLASSES 08.25.15
More Munch and let's do some life drawing and painting this final week of class.
Be ready to do drawing in the first half and you may be able to experiment with color and do a small painting in a longer pose in the second half of class. Don't be afraid to be loose with your marks and let the process take over.

BRENT RIDGE - NAC CLASSES 08.18.15
Hello All,
This week we will have a model for Drawing/Painting.
Bring materials to use to draw and during longer poses you can experiment with painting from the model. We will keep our use of color loose (watercolor or acrylic, no oil please). Remember pastels and colored pencils can be used in drawing to add color and mood.
We will use short warm up drawing and work our way into a long pose.
Try to be on time and make use of the special class time.

BRENT RIDGE - NAC CLASSES 08.11.15
Hello All,
We've been making some nice paintings and drawings focusing on simpler shapes like those in Alex Katz's paintings. I want you to continue in this vein and look for the underlying shapes of the picture and not get caught up in the details of things. Focus on the color harmony developed in the piece.
Use pictures or still life to inspire --- or maybe make a painting from the painting you just made? (this is good formula for fine-tuning and adjusting color, shape and the space of a work)
Here is some works of the local painter named Brett X. Gamache, he is working in a manner like we've discussed and give you a different take on how to approach painting with reduced surface detail and invented color harmonies :
