 Discover-Your-Style Master Class with Alan Scott-MoncrieffInstructor: Alan Scott-Moncrieff Tuesdays, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PMClass Starts on Sep 17, 2019Location: Downstairs Studio A
Fall Term: September 17 - November 19
This fall Alan will guide students through a style-discovery course to help each attendee break through their personal “walls” and find the technique that’s truly special to them and best suits their taste and demeanor. Typically students work with various instructors over the course of a year and are exposed to the techniques specific to each class: though this is an excellent approach to understanding a variety of styles, it doesn’t enable the student to break through the barriers obscuring their optimally personal method. This Master Class is designed to enable students to do exactly that, making subsequent workshops with other tutors even more beneficial as they’ll be adding to their style rather than confusing their own. As a child we learn to form the letters of the alphabet and join them together in handwriting only to forget this technique as we express ourselves with the written word: and that handwriting is as unique as our fingerprints. The same is ideally true of painting however we often don’t find our personal style when we are always painting in another artist’s shoes, and we cannot freely express ourselves (or attain professional status) until we’ve settled on the style that is uniquely ours. Join this class and come away knowing yours.
Alan Scott-Moncrieff is a Scottish American Impressionist painter and the grandson of renowned American illustrator, Keith Ward. Alan has painted, exhibited and taught in the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK and Asia since 1988 and nurtured numerous students on their path to becoming fulfilled artists.
Materials:
One large canvas at least 36” x 48” but ideally bigger. Canvases can be stored downstairs for the duration of the course.
Oil colors/brushes/tools you’re drawn to using.
