In the spirit of adventure and delving into places unknown, I decided to go to the dark side and try out a little scene under performance lights. This is ampersand gessoboard toned first with a mix of thalo blue and raw umber acrylic paints - applied with a very course bristle brush. What a rush to paint into darkness! I loved it and was ready to test my ability to see and understand values and color under a different light source. I'll be doing more of these.

Each student will be provided with a high quality color print of their selected photograph with a clear breakdown of which colors will be mixed. Preparing a palette of clean, harmonious color before putting knife/brush to canvas gives you a head start on a successful painting. Sessions are held on the second Saturday of each month. Cost is $50. Beginner-Advanced. Space is limited to six students. Please call or email me at 321-331-3045 or scshisler@gmail.com to secure your spot.
