(8) Tuesdays (9am -12)
York county, Maine
(Todd Bonita & Dennis Poirier)
$360 for 8 Tuesdays

In this course, students will craft a single painting over multiple outdoor sessions. With the goal of slowing down, we will aim at sharpening our observational skills, visual problem solving and building upon our painting intillect. We will reach for a painting possessing not only naturally observed acuracy, but a poetic extention of our artistic vision on canvas. Our itinerary will include:
* Bring two canvas to each class. Feel free to work larger but not necessary.
* One canvas for full light (Sunny) painting and the other for a half light (Cloudy) painting.
* You will work on one painting for the first four weeks.
* After the first four weeks, we will change locations and start a new painting. Each painting will be broken down into four sessions and look like this:
(First four weeks / first painting)
September 05: (Bonita) Design / Compostion walk about lecture, "choosing a motif". Sketch and draw motif.
September 12 (Bonita) : Lay in masses of color, cover the entire canvas. Focus on color & value matching accuracy.
