American Impressionist
Closing reception: Aug 2nd, 6-8pm Show runs June 1st-Aug 3rd @ Cole Noble Gallery I’m an American Impressionist. My work is grounded in a deep appreciation of the Indiana family farm and the Midwest. Indiana has a great multitude of legacies; agriculture is the one I’m familiar with. Many hot summer days and cold winter evenings working with my father, grandfather and brother, inform scenes of rural farm life, and the seasons that flow around it. I have the opportunity to travel throughout the United States and paint. Indiana is where everywhere else is compared to, because it is home, and it is the place where I belong. The rolling forested hills of southern Indiana, dotted by old farmsteads, is where I grew up. It is equaled in splendor by the plains of central and northern Indiana. Tree lines lay in the distant under thick atmosphere and over deep soil. These are the motifs that I point at and say “Look at the beauty of this place.” Most people see it when you show them. Come out and see the art. Meet me and enter for a chance to win a painting. It will be an entertaining evening with drinks and hors d'oeuvres. See you then! |

‘Fundamentals of Painterly Realism’ @SALI, Greenwood IN
Wednesdays 12:30-3:30pm Jan 9th - Feb 27th 8 weeks: $100 Fundamentals of Painterly Realism In this class we will explore the fundamental aspects of Painterly Realism and how to incorporate them into your paintings. We will look at value, seeing/aiming, line, shape, color, edges, paint application, light and dark pattern, light and shadow. These fundamentals will help the student quickly grasp the complexity of a scene and translate them to a painting. Goal During the eight weeks we will walk through the fundamentals of painting, and build a strong foundation for creating paintings going forward. Course Structure This class will meet weekly. Class will begin with a presentation of the idea we will be covering, followed by a demo of the concept. We will then break and students will apply the ideas with exercises designed to isolate the skills needed to develop the fundamental aspects of painterly realism. Students will receive feedback, guidance, and critique as they work. Students will be given assignments to work on for next week’s class and to crystalize the previous week’s concepts. Course Description This course will push students to grasp the fundamental aspects of painterly realism. Students can use these fundamentals to observe their surrounds and translate them to paint in a representational manner. Each week will build upon the previous week. The process we cover in class will give students the tools to create and paint an aesthetically pleasing piece of art. Assignments Students are expected to work on their assignments between classes. If a student can’t make a class, please email the instructor to receive current week’s assignment. They may also bring previous work to class to receive feedback. The instructor will do their best to move between students to make sure each student gets their share of guidance. Please be respectful of other student’s time. Materials We will be working in Oil and/or Acrylic. They are fairly interchangeable when painting in this manner. The course will focus upon the fundamental aspects of painting in these mediums.
