There are still spaces available for Richard Kooymans up coming oil painting class in Leland through the Old Art Building in June. This is a landscape class in oil for both the beginner and advanced painter. Working on location in Leland and the Sleeping Bear National Lake Shore this class will emphasize working poetically small using as simple and portable a set up as possible.
Each day we will start with discussing what makes the landscape in front of us unique and how an artist best captures the feeling of each place. With sketch books we will spend time doing small drawings which help solidify ideas and teach us to look closer at what we are seeing. The rest of the time will be spent working up as many small paintings as time allows. Discussion about art and being an artists and historical references will be stressed. A National Park vehicle pass will be needed to paint on the days we go into the park. Some light walking in soft sand may be included. The first day of the class we will meet at the Old Art Building and will be painting in Leland. Materials and work can be stored at the Old Art Building over night for the duration of the class.
