This six-week painting course explores how narrative can be built through the relationship between figure, environment, and color.

Working in acrylic or oil, students will develop one narrative painting from concept to completion, beginning with brainstorming personal or imagined stories and translating them into visual form through thumbnail sketches and compositional planning.

As the course progresses, students will focus on blocking in figures and spaces, using gesture and body language to clarify meaning, and exploring how color, limited palettes, and atmosphere can communicate emotion.

The final weeks emphasize refinement, symbolism, and visual cohesion, culminating in a group critique centered on storytelling, emotional readability, and narrative impact.

All supplies will be provided via the supply fee.

This class invites students to paint intimate scenes inspired by memory, relationships, and everyday life, with an emphasis on mood and emotional clarity over technical precision.

Working in acrylic, students will translate personal moments into visual scenes through thoughtful composition, cropping, and simplified forms. The course explores how interiors and personal spaces can act as emotional containers, and how color, atmosphere, and figure/environment relationships contribute to meaning.

Students will develop one or two small-scale paintings over the course of the class, refining cohesion and narrative focus, and will conclude with a supportive group critique centered on emotional resonance and visual connotation.

All supplies will be provided via the supply fee.
