Sometimes the hardest part of a painting is knowing how to finish it. Do you have a painting that has been sitting unfinished because you can’t quite figure out what it needs? Perhaps you have a small painting that you really like and would love to develop into a larger work. Or maybe you’ve simply reached a point where you are no longer sure what to do next. This class is designed to help you solve those problems.Bring a painting you are struggling with, an unfinished work, or a smaller painting that you would like to develop on a larger scale. We will look at the work together and discuss what is working, what might need changing and what possibilities you have for moving the painting forward. This will be a collaborative and interactive class, with everyone having the opportunity to look at the paintings being worked on and offer ideas and suggestions. There is a great deal to learn from seeing how another artist approaches a problem. I will also bring some of my own unfinished paintings. The painting shown with this class is one of mine — it is unfinished, and I am not completely happy with it. I will work on this painting during the class and share my thought process as I try to resolve it. You will see how I identify the problems, consider different solutions, make changes and work toward a painting that I am more satisfied with. Sometimes we learn just as much from figuring out what isn’t working as we do from creating a successful painting. This class is about learning how to look at your work with fresh eyes, make decisions with confidence, and discover ways to bring a painting to a satisfying conclusion.
