Fall Classes 2024
*Please respond by email or text to confirm there is a space in the class before sending your check*
RSVP to Susan Dull @ susandull@icloud.com.Your check holds your place in class.Please make check payable to Susan Dull and mail to 304 St. Davids Lane, Richmond, VA, 23221. No cancellations after classes have started. Materials list will be sent via email.
Intermediate and advanced levels are welcome. Classes are primarily focused on oil painting, but Curney welcomes artists who work in acrylic and watercolor. The use of oil paint — from brushes and canvases to palette and technique — is the emphasis in these classes. Curney will demonstrate how the use of a limited palette emphasizes the importance of color, value, intensity, and placement of paint. Composition and the use of photos versus using still-life setups and plein air landscapes will be discussed. Demos and exercises are combined with painting time, or artists have the option to paint on their own with help from Curney throughout the class.

Drills to make you a better painter
These drills are designed to help you SEE like a painter and achieve the large value and color relationships before allowing yourself to indulge in the details. You will be amazed with the immediate results this method gives the painter. I have seen complete transformations in painters on a regular basis as a result of these drills. Good bye overworked, tight, dead paintings. Hello confident, loose, and expressive paintings! Expect to paint at least 5 paintings in 3 days. Please bring panels around 11x14, or 12x16. Nothing larger. I will be sending out reference photos prior to class for students to print or upload on an I-pad. If you have a plein air easel, please bring it. Otherwise, I will supply one for you.
Full-Wait List Accepted
Date: September 9th - 11th
Time: 9am-4pm
Host: Robin Caspari Studio
Cost: $350
Design and Composition Workshop
This workshop is for Intermediate to Advanced painters. Painters must have decent control and knowledge of value and color. Painters should be able to complete a drill, as described above, not because it’s the right way to paint, but because it demonstrates an understanding of simplification and compression of value and color. These are skills you will need in order to understand the curriculum for this workshop. If you complete the Drills workshop, you will be qualified to take this Design workshop. This Design course will focus on: Value and Color Compression, Painting Keys, Composing with the Elements of Design, Establishing an Artistic Hierarchy, Variety and Dominance, Interpreting Rather than Copying a Reference, Creating Tension, Harmony, Balance, and Pattern, Notans, Texture, Edges..... Phew! It’s a lot of information to cover in a short period of time. Be prepared for a lot of studying and note taking. We will design and paint one painting, but there will be more study and prep time than actual painting time. Please plan to be present throughout the entirety of the workshop as there is a lot of cumulative information and no time to catch up if you are late or miss class. Please bring your own easel if you have one. Otherwise I will provide one for you. In addition to your regular supplies, please bring: Notebook and pen for taking notes, Sketch Book, Prismacolor or Tombow Grey Markers (will send a link), View Finder, I-pad for digital design if you have one, Paint supplies 12x16ish or 16x20ish canvas.
