Painting with Constructive Color
with Terry Trambauer Norris
Instructor: Terry Trambauer Norris
Skill Level: All Levels
Ages: 15+
Total Class Hours: 15 hours
Description: Join us to learn to represent a three-dimensional form on a two-dimensional surface using color. Students learn to see the colors of the visible world in a different way than humans have been conditioned to see. They will practice seeing as the painter does by perceiving, mixing, and arranging colors to create a vibrant, light-filled image that also conveys depth and solidity. Using simple objects as models, this method brings new life and beauty to ordinary objects and expands the mind toward greater creativity and expression. We will begin with a demonstration of the method and some color mixing exercises. This class is for all levels, especially beginners. All materials are provided. The work is done in oils, but the content applies to all painting media. The course is suitable for students ages 15 and up.
Supplies: All supplies are provided … just bring your creativity!
