  • Block 3: Painting in Color (With solid painting skills now at your command, you will begin incrementally incorporating the third and final moving part: color. This step-by-step approach makes the addition of color feel like a natural extension of your rapidly developing skillset.)
    Block 3 In the third block you will transition to painting in color. In this Block you will bring fully realized paintings to life. You will learn to mix colors, create gradients, and add reflections & highlights to your creations.

• EVOLVE ADVANCED (Blocks 5-8)
  • Block 5: Vacant Shadows (A classical approach that allows students to focus on light and edge alone. This elegant technique, though impressive on its own, sets the stage for speed painting.)
    • TBD – 20 paintings
  • Block 6: Speed Painting (A multi-layered approach to painting, giving your work a greater sense of atmosphere. This technique will significantly increase your speed, allowing you to create more in less time.)
    • TBD – 20 paintings
  • Block 7: Puddling (Departing from the leaner applications of paint in the prior blocks, you will begin to work with heavier impastos and a more relaxed technique. Color mixing directly on the canvas will improve both your color and value control.)
    • TBD – 20 paintings
  • Block 8: Master Copies & Advanced Applications (This is where you put together everything that you’ve learned in the Evolve program. You will be working on master copies, recreating paintings using Evolve techniques and pulling these together while leaning on the lessons that the Old Master’s have to offer. Coupled with the master copies, students have the opportunity to apply all of the skills learned in Evolve to their personal visions.)
    • TBD – 8 paintings
