Watercolor Pencils have been around for some time now. They are fantastic for sketching in the sketchbook and great to bring with you on vacation.

This is a great Art Clinic for drawing students as well as students interested in water-based painting. Please note there is a $30 model fee to be paid in class for this session.

Ink wash is not just monochrome watercolor. It is a medium that celebrates sunlight and deep shadow, abstract shapes and high realism. It’s a chance to show off tight drawing skills and allow for spatters and happy accidents. It can be as simple or as complex as you want to make it. This is a great Art Clinic for drawing students as well as students interested in water-based painting. Visit jjbruns.com/class-notes/ to see the class syllabus and supply list or email Jordan at jjordanbruns@gmail.com with any questions. Minimum age 14. 5 sessions.

Alla prima means “at first attempt” and that first attempt of a color mixture or application of a paint stroke is critical when painting the great outdoors. As the sun moves across the sky, our painting method must be quick to capture all the moments of dramatic light and shadow. That’s why getting the paint stroke right the first time is so important. We’ll practice the three steps in creating a fresh plein air painting: 1) identification of the color, 2) mixing the color, and 3) putting the color in the right spot.

Experimental Drawing Art Clinics Experimental Drawing Art Clinic: Linework

$225

Jordan Bruns Class: F, Apr 19–May 17, 10am–12:30pm, Stone Tower Studio

A line is a dot that went for a walk. There are all kinds of ways to draw a line. The drawing tool is only half of the equation. In this Experimental Drawing Art Clinic, we’ll be experimenting with how a tool makes a certain line, but also how WE can change that line. Further, we’ll dive into the important distinction between line and edge; how they make our subject abstract or representational and when to use each while making a drawing. Our in-class work will be split between still life and the live model. Please note there is a $30 model fee paid in class. Visit jjbruns.com/classnotes/ to see the class syllabus and supply list or email Jordan at jjordanbruns@gmail.com with any questions. Minimum age 14. 5 sessions.

Experimental Drawing Art Clinic: Edgework

$225

Jordan Bruns Class: F, May 31–Jun 28, 10am–12:30pm, Stone Tower Studio

When two shapes of different values love each other very much, they sometimes come together to create an edge. Experimental Drawing: Edgework, celebrates the union of two shapes and the edge they create. Edges make up our physical reality, so if our aim is to make realistic looking/feeling drawings, we need to adopt the edge. Our in-class work will be split between still life and the live model. Please note there is a $30 model fee paid in class. Visit jjbruns.com/class-notes/ to see the class syllabus and supply list or email Jordan at jjordanbruns@gmail.com with any questions.

Adult & Teen Visual Arts & Music RESIDENT DRAWING & PAINTING STUDIO Experimental Drawing Art Clinic: Toned Paper

$225

Abstract Representation: Abstracting Old Masters

$225

Jordan Bruns Class: F, Jul 12–Aug 9, 10am–12:30pm, Stone Tower Studio

Jordan Bruns Class: F, Jul 12–Aug 9, 1:30–4pm, Stone Tower Studio

There is a tendency for artists to forget that paper comes in all shades and colors. Typically for artists, the paper is white, and we only draw line and/or shadow. With a toned paper, you have the opportunity to draw line, shadow, AND light! Experimental Drawing Toned Paper celebrates the toned surface. Regardless of whether you create the toned surface yourself, or if you begin with paper that has a tone or slight color, we’ll make incredible artwork drawing both shadow and light. Please note there is a $30 model fee paid in class. Visit jjbruns.com/class-notes/ to see the class syllabus and supply list or email Jordan at jjordanbruns@gmail.com with any questions. Minimum age 14. 5 sessions.

Picasso says, “good artists borrow, great artists steal”. He’s an excellent example of someone who has taken a famous painting and reworked the composition, subject, and color to make it something entirely different. What can we learn from reinventing an old master painting? After selecting our masterpiece to reinvent, we’ll devise a plan to change the painting to fit with our time period and painting style. Visit jjbruns.com/class-notes/ to see the class syllabus and supply list or email Jordan at jjordanbruns@gmail.com with any questions. Minimum age 14. 5 sessions.

Abstract Representation Art Clinics Abstract Representation: Abstract Painting from Photography

$350

Jordan Bruns Class: F, Apr 26–Jun 28; No Class May 24, 1:30–4pm, Stone Tower Studio

It is common for artists using photography as their reference to paint too realistically or too tightly, causing their paintings to resemble photographs. What happens when the artist uses one or more photographs as inspiration to create an abstract painting? In this session of ‘Abstract Representation,’ we will explore just that. We will delve into the possibilities of eschewing naturalistic colors, altering the perspective of our subject matter, and incorporating a fusion of abstract and representational elements into our artwork. This Art Clinic offers valuable insights for both abstract and representational artists alike. Visit jjbruns.com/class-notes/ to see the class syllabus and supply list or email Jordan at jjordanbruns@gmail.com with any questions. Minimum age 14. 9 sessions.
