Consistently painting from life is where real growth happens. This intermediate–advanced class
is for students who already have a foundation in drawing and color mixing and are ready to
challenge their seeing and decision-making.

Working from live observation, we’ll paint a range of subjects—from simple to complex still lifes,
to interior and exterior views seen through the studio windows. Painting from life sharpens our
understanding of value, color, shape, and spatial relationships in a way nothing else can.

As you learn to respond directly to what’s in front of you, you’ll develop skills that strengthen
every painting you make—whether working from life or translating that knowledge into work
made from reference photos.

Oil or Acrylics

Great paintings begin with strong value and thoughtful color. In this class, we’ll break down how
different tubes of paint actually behave, and how to use them intentionally. You’ll learn to see
color relationships more clearly, mix with confidence, and understand why some mixtures sing
while others fall flat.

We’ll cover value control, color temperature, and practical palette management—how to
organize your colors and make thoughtful decisions about which tubes to pull for each subject.
This class is about building fluency with color so it becomes a tool, not an obstacle, in your
painting practice.
