At the Ivy Building, 2637 27th Ave S, Mpls 55406, in Studio #210~
I am Kat Corrigan, an artist and teacher who loves to paint in acrylic on black, pulling out the light of my subjects, which can be dogs or wolves or landscapes, or even people! I invite you to join me in my studio this winter to learn to paint, and if you already paint, I am delighted to work with you to get you further along your painting path. I have worked with a number of excellent teachers and mentors in my life, and push myself to paint nearly daily.
Started as an introduction to acrylic painting, this class has become a meeting place for people who want to explore their own creativity through structured lessons and homework and in-depth discussions with others about life and art. The only prerequisite is that you are willing to learn, and that you promise to try NOT to compare your work to anyone else's. And there WILL be homework!
We start each class by looking at the previous week's homework, with a painting demo and an in-class assignment, followed by discussion and your homework assignment. Questions are encouraged, as is courageous thinking. We paint the world around us and what we love, looking at value, contrast, proportion, color, reflected light, negative space, oh so many things...
Advanced painters are welcome, as are beginners, and we all work from where we are. Part of the worth of this class is in the discussions and connections we make.
Here is the preferred materials list- You'll want enough panels to paint at the studio and have about 4 panels for at home during the week for your homework. Paper or cardboard or in a sketchbook is fine too~
I have specific colors I love to work with, and I work on a black ground. I am always happy to lend materials to you to get you going. We are working with a Daily Painting Practice, the idea being that you intentionally paint a little every day. This is based on a lot of daily painters and mostly on Carol Marine's work.
We meet in the Ivy Building in South Minneapolis, 2637 27th Ave S!
