Limit your time and 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 arrangement they have set up in their space. Progress is shared with the instructor for one-on-one feedback. Suggestions will be given for suitable simple forms students may have around their home, and the materials list includes links to pre-recorded videos where the instructor gives tips on how students can set up their cameras at home and troubleshoot the online experience. Ideally, the online sessions will inspire students to create their own limited-time painting drills between classes. The 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 class does not meet on 1/17.

    Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
