Color Spot Drawing

Online Course (5 Weeks) 

New Section: Sundays 12-3 PM EST (9-12 PM PST)

March 30- April 27, 2025

Taking inspiration from the “color spot” painting lineage associated with Charles Hawthorne and the Venetian School, this class teaches students to build drawings with abstract shapes of value and color. Using a variety of media including graphite, ballpoint pen, color pencil, oil pastel, and collage, students will learn how to create painterly drawings that toe the line between form and abstraction. Class assignments will also feature a variety of subject matter including still images of figure models, landscapes, and still life.

The objective of the class is to give students an accessible and modern perspective on drawing to enhance their sketching or painting practice. This class is especially useful for anyone who feels "stuck" in their art practice and would like to "loosen up" their drawing style. The class is suitable for all skill levels.

 

Class time will encompass in-depth demonstrations, lecture, Q/A, and individual feedback for the Full Seat participants. Classes will meet on Zoom.  Homework, class recordings, and class materials will be available through Padlet.  Zoom Link will be emailed to student two weeks before the first class meets.

**Sessions are live and are recorded, students do not have to be present. All recordings will be available to students for 6 months after the final session.

 

Supply List available for download upon purchase of the class.

"I learned a color pencil technique and an approach to color that will blow your brain. Amy is one of the best instructors I've had. I highly reccomend taking a class with her." - Kate R.
