About
Lisa Duncan will help to boost your painting confidence through a series of four two-hour classes offering individualized exercises with demonstrations and hands-on experience. Using still life, photos, and (sometimes) live models as reference, the class covers the fundamentals of oil painting and drawing. Realistic drawing will be covered through the study line quality, composition, the depiction of form through light and shadow, reverse drawing, and more. Painting students will learn how to prepare canvas, block-in techniques, chiaroscuro, grisaille, glazing, color mixing, and more. Select drawing, painting or both, and chart a course forward to learn the styles and techniques you want!

I started taking this class a little less than a year ago. I keep coming back because of the way Lisa teaches. She meets each one of us where we are at, letting our personal goals guide her instruction, and creates a uniquely collaborative experience for us as students, not only challenging us towards visible progress in our skills during each class, but forming the kind of creative community that fuels our inspiration and motivation.

Lisa is a rare gem of an instructor. I’m always amazed at how well she dials in on our unique strengths and customizes classes around where each of us is individually at. She’s done wonders for improving my painting technique in just a few months. She’s also helped me begin to develop my own artistic judgment, so that I can start to self correct and apply her lessons when painting outside of class. She’s one in a million and a really important guide on my painting journey.
