The artist’s statement: 

These classes are designed to introduce students to the techniques I use to inform my intuitive approach to interpreting landscapes and water in acrylic paints.

We will delve into each person’s own artistic exploration. My goal is to help students to better understand and articulate their own unique visual language.

We will view slide shows of various artists, who in their work, demonstrate the use of transparent paints.

We will discuss transparent colours, how they are labeled, and why I use them.  I will demonstrate each step and explain colour choices.

The main focus of this class is to build a completed painting through a series of layers of transparent acrylic paints.

We will end with a final show and tell of the paintings done in class.
