Acrylic Painting 2 – Value, Rhythm, John Piper

Class Description:
This session is John Piper inspired!

The first class will focus practicing the technical skill of value. You may be surprised to learn that value is more important than colour in the world of painting. We will learn how to use value to create a focal point within a painting and to create illusions of depth.

During the second class, we will dive into rhythm – the skill of creating repeatable patterns and motifs that flow into something bigger. You will learn how to incorporate rhythm into your own paintings.

The John Piper inspired painting you create in week 3 will allow you to learn some of his techniques while touching on some interesting art history.

Then finally, in the last two classes, you will create your own painting based on your chosen reference photo. We will work together to break it down, edit it, then work through the painting process.

Enjoy a coffee or cup of tea and some baked goodies while you practice skills that can be applied to all of your future work.

Note – Students that have taken this class with Jess before know that we do NEW projects every session, so you won’t get bored taking this class multiple times!

If you have never painted before, please take the Very Beginner Workshop on Nov 4 or Nov 7 prior to this class to learn the basic skills of acrylic painting. Level 2 classes are designed for those who have been introduced to the medium and tools and seeking continued learning and practicing. Skill development beyond basics will be the focus. Level 2 classes are ideal to be taken repeatedly.

We have some aprons, but wear clothes that can withstand the elements (i.e. glue, paint, etc.) of a fun, creative art studio. Nothing else is required.
