Four Week Preparatory Online Course

Description - For beginners to intermediate, this course has the intention of introducing new students to Ned's working methods and process. A lot of our students are returning to us for our Wednesday Morning classes, as a result, Ned wanted to have time with new students to focus on them with a more directed basic course focused on their needs . The aim of this course will be to assess each students needs and introduce Ned's working methods to new students. After teaching for over 60 years Ned is convinced that most paintings are ruined at the start, as we don't do the important preliminary work of doing value and color studies to get things down in a smaller and quicker way to see what is working and what isn't. Ned will go over types of material, introduction to design, how to use photographs, the value of value studies with demonstrations on how to think about and apply this working method to students own work. "The old Masters worked in value only for four years, when I was in Art School we worked in value for two years, once a student sees how important and valuable they are they are willing to do them. They make us better Artists!" We will also spend at least one session talking about drawing and demonstrating perspective. This will be a smaller group ,Limited to eight students and an opportunity for new students to get a solid grounding on Ned's process at a pace that may better suit them.
