Beginning Acrylic Painting Student Third Artwork after Three Lessons

In the beginning Acrylic painting class this is an example of a landscape painting completed by a student, Diane Miller,  in their third complete 2 hour lesson.
If you drop in at the Raven Art School Studio you will see the process for making the painting,

• beginning with the watercolor like use of acrylics in the sky background,
• doing an under painting of the lighthouse
• followed by a glazes of color on the lighthouse
• concluding with creation of the foreground of grasses.

Of course there is instruction on how to mix the colors, applying glazes and various brush techniques in creating the grassy foreground during live lesson.

Learn the Fundamentals of Painting at Raven Art School

This student had never worked from life...yet is competently creating form using the grisaille method of underpainting for the first time. Once completed with the grisaille underpainting, she will begin glazing over the underpainting creating glowing color in her painting. Following this indirect method of painting, she will do an alla prima ( direct method) painting of the same or similar subject.  In this four week painting class the student will complete two paintings.


Through the process, the student learns how to use a grid in drawing, to judge values, color mixing and begins understanding composition.


Consider joining us on Thursday for this Beginning Oil Painting class in the mornings from 10 to noon.  Or if you prefer painting in acrylic, try our Beginning Acrylic Painting in the morning on Monday from 10 to noon.


We also have  Monday and Thursday  intermediate painting classes  accommodating the specific direction of the student artist.

Will you EVER learn to Paint?

Have you ever wanted to REALLY learn to paint?  Or have you been painting but feel like your not making any real progress?  There is nothing like a refreshing "back to the Basics" painting class to put you back on track to success.

The Raven Art School is offering two Beginning Painting Classes, one in Acrylic and the other in Oil that will cover the essentials of painting in a clear and organized way.

I am your instructor, Judith Reidy.  Nothing gives me greater pleasure than guiding a student in developing as a painter.  I am interested in providing you with insight into how you could more systematically develop and attack a  painting idea.  I know  the feeling of what it is like to flounder as a student learning to paint..  I would like to make your growing pains as a painter less arduous....more anticipatory.  I would love to come along side you on your journey.

In addition to offering two Beginning Painting Classes one in Acrylic on Monday Mornings and the other in Oil on Thursday Mornings I will be offering an Intermediate level class Painting in All Media on Monday and Thursday  afternoon.    See details about classes here

If you would like to learn more about the classes please contact me here, mentioning your interest.
