Master Classes return on April 25 with Capturing the Light with Timothy Horn Master Class.

Students should have painted in oils enough to be comfortable working with the medium and should have painted on their own with their outdoor easel and be comfortable with the setup. The primary focus will be to convey the sense of light in paintings by identifying, clarifying and establishing proper value relationships. Students will also work on achieving clean color in paintings and utilize value patterns to aid in developing successful compositions.
