Complete an oil painting “alla prima”—in a single session. After watching the instructor paint a demo of a simple arrangement from his studio, students will paint their own simple arrangements which they'll set up in their space. Time will be limited to about 45 minutes, after which students will share their progress with the instructor for feedback. Suggestions will be given for suitable simple forms students may have around their home. Ideally, the online sessions will inspire students to create their own limited-time painting drills at home between classes. The instructor demos will be recorded, so students have the benefit of re-watching.

  • Prerequisites are intermediate painting skills from life, and the habit of painting on a regular basis. Ideally, the student has been a recent enrollee in David Tanner’s class.
  • • This is an online class. In order to attend online classes, students must be able to attend the class via Zoom, an online cloud conferencing program. You do not need to download the program to join for classes.
