Everyone can learn to draw and paint! Join international artist, Eli Cedrone for this fun and inspiring class. Through a series of exercises we’ll explore how to see simply and effectively communicate your ideas. This is an atelier experience for all levels where students will build a solid foundation in traditional methods of creating art. Each class is designed to strengthen skills of perception as well as mastery of the medium and will help to make order out of chaos by stressing the basics of drawing, value, and color. Learn to create dramatic paintings with impressionistic brushwork and develop the skills necessary to translate light into the language of paint.

Each class will focus on:

• Drawing and and simplifying shapes
• Composition and creating a focal point
• How to begin a painting
• Seeing values and mixing colors
• Developing an individual style
