Still Life Painting 
Students will learn how to approach an oil painting from start to finish. We start with drawing the still life in the sight-size method, transfer it to canvas, and paint in layers until the objects have form and detail. This course teaches traditional atelier-style methods, from using a campitura, to dead color, first painting, and second painting, all working from life. 
10 Days, July 22nd - August 2nd 10:00 - 5:00, one hour lunch break.  Instructor: Christina Mastrangelo

Color Lab: Flesh Tones 
Color is an indispensable tool for painters. Mastery of color unlocks freedom and control over one's ability to solve color problems.
10 days, August 19th - 30th, 10:00 - 5:00, one hour lunch break, Instructor: Sean Krajnik
