Introduction to Abstract Painting (All Levels) with Ellen Hallie Schiff
4 weeks • Monday • September 14, 21, Oct 5 & October 12 • 1:30pm – 4:-0pm
$150M/$185NM

*** Outdoor Classes are under a tent so that social distancing can be practiced. Face mask guidelines must be followed and tables will be cleaned between classes. Guidelines will be provided to all students upon registration.

Intrigued by the idea of painting abstractly? This four session class will give you a taste of painting in an abstract manner. We will be working with black and white water based enamel on watercolor paper. This experience has been called “freeing” and “a lot of fun “ by so many students. Experience what it feels like to paint this way. Lots of individualized instruction and discussion. The works you produce here can be the beginnings of new ideas and directions.

MATERIALS List to come

Ellen will provide the paint.

    About Ellen Hallie Schiff

Artist’s Statement
An essential truth seems to come alive when I use my body to create my paintings- something visceral and muscular; a directness that feels so “right”. The authentic mark is what I am after; the true, non-gimmicky, not contrived mark; the mark that is made when “I am the painting I am painting”. Playing with the paint, working sometimes at the speed of light, other times slowly and deliberately; all coming together in a flurry of physical activity. The result is an authentic moment in time.

Ellen is on the Art Advisory Council of the Port Washington Library and is the former Vice President of The Art Guild of Port Washington. Her work has been exhibited in galleries in Philadelphia and New York. Her friend and mentor is Stan Brodsky. View Ellen’s work at @ehschiff.

Painting in Acrylics with Confidence and Freedom with Kirk Larsen

6 Wednesdays

September 16, 23, 30, October 7,14 & 21 • 1-4pm
$290 Members /$325 Non Members

*** Outdoor Classes are held in our Outdoor Classroom under a tent so that social distancing can be practiced. Face mask guidelines must be followed and tables will be cleaned between classes. Guidelines will be provided to all students upon registration.

Using Still life, landscape and figures as a point of departure, this class will explore the dynamics of using acrylics in both conventional and unconventional ways. The properties of acrylics range from watercolor-like to oil paint-like and can also be used graphically.

As one of the top plein air painters in the country, Kirk has spent a lifetime refining and adjusting his use of virtually all media to serve the artist in the most diverse and efficient way. Artists will work towards finishing in class painting exercises in single sessions, to build proficiency and control and supplement with a multiple session piece at home with in class feedback.and individual guidance.

One of the best qualities of acrylics is the ability to be manipulable and refine a piece in progress and learning how to let the paint do its part of the work (or play) can free up the artist’s creative flow. Adjusted for each person’s current skill, this fun, upbeat and unique class is based upon the KLM (Kirk Larsen Method) which accelerates the learning curve in art.

For early novice through professional artists.
