In this class, for intermediate to advanced students only, Jeff teaches how to efficiently begin and complete a painting. He says, “I focus on a purposeful approach to moving through blocking in an underpainting and understanding how to finish it without overworking. We try to work loose and quickly, so the process of painting is enjoyable.”

Materials:

Paint: (I like Winsor & Newton) Ultramarine Blue; Cadmium Yellow Light (or Pale Hue); Permanent Alizarin Crimson; Titanium White. Brushes: #2, #4, #6 (flats). I recommend Robert Simmons “Signet” brand.

Canvases: Canvas panels (buy the bundle of five for the best price). For class we will be working in small format, 8” x 10” or 9” x 12” (please no larger than 12” x 16”).

Other: palette (disposable paper palette is fine); odorless mineral spirits in solvent tank or small tight lid jar; small metal palette knife. If you already have paint and this equipment or similar, perfect. Most important is that you have the four paint colors, especially Permanent Alizarin Crimson.

We will discuss materials more extensively during our first class.
