This in-person class is organized to address the needs of new students as well as more experienced painters who want to work independently. Demos will be tailored to the needs of the group. New painters will be encouraged to build an acrylic (or oil) underpainting from scratch, and mix colors while developing their ability to evaluate value and composition. The setting is relaxed and informative. For returning students with experience in acrylic or oil, this workshop will provide an opportunity to work on independent projects. This class intends to create a space for artistic learning, showing by example in real time the practice and thought process of being an artist, creating a IRL group space to share and talk about art while offering advice on materials, technique, and subject matter. As an instructor, Jolyn is here to help students address artist blocks and model how to create time and space for a nourishing art practice.
A materials list will be provided.
About the instructor: “I highly recommend taking studio classes or seminar time at Radius with Jolyn Fry. She is a wonderful artist and teacher, she establishes a legit space to learn and create, it is relaxing, non-competitive, yet as serious as you wanna make it and take it. Jolyn is very kind and does what she can to help you succeed.” -JR
