    Description

    ​​​​​The Discovery Series set of classes will allow students to step outside of their comfort zone just enough to open a new level of discovery.  The first session will focus on negative painting, the next will be painting large and loosely, and the third class in the session will be working in neutral colors.

    Discovery Series "Let's Get Negative!" The typical painting technique is where the artist paints the subject of the painting directly by creating the shape and form of each area.  In negative painting, the artist will start with a focus on the negative space between and around the subjects in the painting.  We will focus on carving the negative area with color and depth working to form the subject in the process.  We will explore the depth and shape of what a negative space looks like as we build up to our light-filled subject.
