Adult Classes + Workshops

Location

West Windsor Arts
952 Alexander Road
West Windsor, NJ 08550

Summary

Students will learn how to apply the fundamentals of color theory, color qualities, value, saturation, temperature, color harmony and expression. We will address painting in a personal and informed way, whether working from observation, imagination, or abstraction. Using your own personal subject matter as inspiration, such as a picture or photo that means something to you, still life arrangements of objects that are meaningful, or a famous artist’s style you might want to explore, you will create inspiring pieces of work.

Students may work in realistic or abstract painting styles and learn a range of techniques. Individual guidance, feedback, and group critiques will help students articulate their creative challenges and strengths and learn to handle compositional challenges in their paintings. Various styles and methods of master painters and movements, traditional through contemporary, will be referenced. New and continuing students welcome. Please bring your own painting supplies to each class.
