This is a continuation of Paul’s previous painting classes. A flexible class that is customized each week to match the needs and experience of the students.

Paul gives a brief lesson or demonstration at the beginning of class, and then addresses each student’s individual painting issues. Topics covered can include composition, brush technique, color theory, perspective, the human figure, plein air painting, etc. Students interests and needs guide the discussion, so bring your questions !

Instruction is primarily for oil painters, but acrylics and other mediums are welcome; the fundamental art principles are the same. Some drawing skill is recommended. Students must provide their own subject matter; your own sketches or photos are encouraged. Each student works at his/her own pace and receives instruction as needed. More advanced artists can use this time as a “Master’s Class” to finish paintings or take advantage of Paul’s constructive critique and suggestions.

The class’s goal is to help each artist maximize their individual style of painting and explore new techniques and creativity. The class also examines accomplished artists, both past and present, thru videos, presentations and demonstrations.

Paul himself strives to make paintings that have confident brushwork, paint handling and color. Paul earned an MFA from Syracuse University and in addition to Hershey Area Art Association has taught Painting, Drawing and Design at the college level.
