Open Studio Winter Session will begin on January 30th! Nocturne painting is a visual language that is often used within realistic treatments (such as Realism and Impressionism) to depict scenes evocative of night or subjects as they appear in a veil of light, in twilight, or in the absence of direct light. Many artists develop their own methods to create nocturnes unique to their styles. The particular method or style that an artist chooses to paint a nocturne may not be limited to realism. Nocturnal depictions have also been shown within impressionist and abstract works. Nocturnes are usually, but not always, inclusive of landscapes and cover the gamut of artistic periods, generally stretching from the southern and northern Baroque period of the early 17th century to the present. Artists often use various methods to depict nocturnes: washes of color, impasto methods, and linear treatments.

This class will experiment with the concept of nocturne painting which will include landscape, portrait and abstract. You will work with several brush categories such as Oils, Acrylics and Chalk to name a few. This class is perfect for the student whom wishes to paint from reference images or from scratch.
