Fall term: Sept 17 - Dec 17
Skill Level: All
Drop-ins Welcome
Paul Cézanne is known as the father of modern art for a reason. When artists at the turn of the 20th century saw what he’d been working on in the south of France, it inspired artists of all kinds. So much of painting even today can be traced to Cézanne’s influence.
In this course, students will look closely at his composition. It will influence work in important ways. Over 12 weeks students will learn and practice Cézanne’s methods of constructing a composition through distortion, movement, color and integration of the picture plane.
Weather permitting, students will spend the first half of the term outside painting plein air and the second half of the term in the upstairs classroom at OSA. Studio demos and lectures will be recorded and offered as a live virtual class to accomodate students wishing to not be indoors with others. Classroom sessions will require appropriate social distancing and facemasks.
Drop ins are allowed but classes will be consecutive, making it challenging for drop in students later in the term. Please direct all questions to Jef Gunn at zopa@hevanet.com

 Explore Your Potential in Acrylic Painting Session IIInstructor: Wayne Jiang are in your artistic journey.
We’ll explore classical, impressionistic, and modern painting styles and apply these styles in portrait, landscape, and still life paintings. By gaining color
theory and composition knowledge, your painting process will not only be enjoyable, but also successful. By the end of this class, you’ll complete
artworks suitable for framing. The more adventuresome students will learn advanced old master techniques such as layering and glazing. And Wayne
will help those who want to develop their own personal style or paint their own subject.
Another added bonus of this class is the guided museum tours. In these tours, Wayne will point out many of the subtle old masters techniques. With
