Oil Painting: From Onset to Perfection
Instructor: Larry Blovits
This class is for all skill levels; beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Larry will address the needs of the participants in each category. All participants, no matter their level, should attend the entire session, benefiting from all the information. Students are expected to work on their individual paintings during the week and send updated images for evaluation and critique. In this way, each person doing this will benefit from individual mid-week instruction between in-person Saturday sessions. The more students put into the class, the more they will benefit. Students should bring their own supplies, but are welcome to use any supplies we currently have in the studio. Instructor recommends masks.
Age 16 & up • Thursdays • March 17-April 14 • 10:30 am- 1:30 pm • $275 for members and $290 for nonmembers • Please call (616) 396-3278 to register
Beginner Section: Students will learn the following: preparing the painting surface; diagramming the general shape divisions; the initial blocking in procedures; mixing paints on the palette; discussing the unique characteristics of each color; how to match the color values from the original source photo; use of solvents and painting mediums; use of the value scale; building up the image from general to specific in progressive layers of paint; itemizing specific goals to achieve in the painting; and answers to pertinent inquiries from the participants. Instructional handouts will be sent via email to participants as soon as problem areas are discovered. Painting examples of each step itemized above will be shown in a keynote program during the in-person meeting to clarify, inform, and answer questions.
Intermediate Section: Instruction will be based on the evaluations of the previous paintings submitted via email before the workshop begins. Instructional handouts will be sent prior to the first class. Participants can then decide whether they want to continue revising those paintings or start new ones to address and improve their problem areas. Each problem area will be discussed in depth during the second half of the keynote program at the in-person meeting. Participants will also receive a critique by email every time they send an update therefore reaping mid-week benefits pertinent to their level. Instructional handouts will be sent via email to participants as soon as problem areas are discovered.
Advanced Section: Instruction is based on email images sent to the instructor before the workshop begins. Larry will be challenging the advanced painter to achieve mastery of all the fundamentals of drawing and design; painting techniques, color understanding and mixing, goal achievements realized, and statement of content evident in the painting as the ultimate goal. Examples of revisions made to improve my paintings will be shown as the third portion of the keynote program for that week. Instructional handouts will be sent via email to participants as soon as problem areas are discovered.
