    Learning to see and interpret the subject matter, with an emphasis on expressive painting, will be the subject of this workshop. We will discuss the basics of composition, value and color, and the use of contrast and rhythm. Discussions will also include materials, technique, "how-to", and the use of lost and found edges. We will be paying particular attention to the importance of seeing and learning how to respond to and evaluate the information. I like to continually remind my students that the model and their paintings are entirely different. A painting should allow the artist to interpret the subject matter in a creative and interesting way. The ability to see and paint what one is seeing is extremely important, but it is the interpretation of that seeing which results in an interesting and sensitive painting. Live models will be our principal subject matter. There will be demonstrations, a slide presentation, lectures, group discussions, and as much individual attention as possible. Instruction will be in oils. This class is primarily for the intermediate to advanced painter.
