NEW! Luminous Light: Re-imaging theVisionary Landscape (int./adv.)
Karen Edelmann $215/seniors $205
In the late 19th century, in what was thought to be an outgrowth of the late Hudson River School, American artists began to paint landscapes that reflected a more poetic view of nature. Later referred to as Luminists or Tonalists, these artists created work that emphasized tranquility and calm. . . . Using dark, neutral hues and by their handling of color, atmosphere, and liquid light, they strove to communicate a quiet, almost spiritual message to the viewer. In this 6-week session, we’ll study the works of those artists, paying particular attention to George Inness.
Using two large canvases. . . , we’ll work to bring their techniques into our own time and our aesthetic. We’ll take a fresh look at mixing and using neutrals, paying close attention to contrast, color compliments and, above all, using minimal imagery for maximum effect. References supplied, further information on sign-up.
For intermediate and advanced students, oils preferred. A materials list will be sent upon registration.
Registration for this class begins Tues. March 5 at 10:00am.
S27 6 sessions starting Fri. May 10 1:00-4:00pm

Later referred to as Luminists or Tonalists, these artists created work that emphasized tranquility and calm.

In this 6-week session we’ll study the works of those artists, paying particular attention to George Inness.
Using two large canvases, one for sunrise and one for sunset, we’ll work to bring their techniques into our own time and our own aesthetic.
