Studio 1    Tuesdays     1-4

Surround yourself with ideas, ambient light, and your painting tools! Whether you’re a beginner or hold an MFA, we take a fresh look together at fundamentals. My style is to offer you constant support at your easels, where you are painting what you love.

Are you a brand-new artist? Are you starting a new painting or revisiting a piece? Whether abstract or representational, work your individual style in oils or acrylics. (Water-colorists also join this series.) Try fresh ideas. Skirt common pitfalls in this convivial class that has run for eleven years.

I enjoying helping you develop good sequencing in the painting process. Typically we simplify new and age-old painting concepts with short demonstrations and handouts and a bit of levity. I offer information on form, light, composition, values, atmospheric perspective, color mixing, media, etc. I’m happy to oblige when painters request a special focus or demo.

Connect the dots of composition, color partnering, and technique that fit your style. Paint using sources you choose, preferably photographic, and share your progress with others. In Studio 1 we all help each other.

Having been a full-time artist for decades, I bring that learning to Studio 1. In eleven years here, I’ve witnessed a lot of student success and feel proud of it. Beginners are most welcome. Our Tuesday studio is a warm place—we have fun, we encourage each other, and the final class is part paint session, part festival–we celebrate with a showing of finished work and pieces in progress while enjoying scrumptious things to eat and drink.

I’ve exhibited in the U.S. and Italy, galleries, museum shows, etc. I show both abstract and representational art, and offer painted silkwear. See my pieces in Gateway and Creekside and at annageorgeartist.com and at annageorgeonline.com. Ask about news on upcoming show of my work nearby.

I hope you, too, will look forward to Tuesday afternoons, when for a few fine hours, we let go of the outer world. Beginners may request a materials list and a consult if desired, plus guidance on choosing quality materials. Reach me at 925 783 9000 with questions/enrollment needs. Enroll well ahead of the start date, please. See you in November!
