Painting What We See-The Light in Spring

Class Description

Wednesday afternoons from 12:00 - 3:00 PM 4 Classes - March 11 - April 1 In this class, we’ll learn to “see” with paint. We will explore color, shape, volume, light, line, gesture, and pictorial space and composition by looking at still life, flowers, interiors, and the stunning early spring light. We’ll also look at some great paintings for inspiration and to understand what makes them great. Students will use acrylic paint and learn basic techniques and methodologies for painting in acrylics. Some drawing experience is helpful but not necessary. Jack Burbridge earned his MFA in painting at American University and lives and works in Silver Spring. He primarily draws and paints from nature - landscape, figure, still-life. You can see his work at the Waverly Street Gallery and online at JackBurbridge.weebly.com.
