Andrew WyethOlson Barn and Fence, 1961 Watercolor on paper21.2 x 29.7 inchesCollection of the Marunuma Art Park. © 2023 Wyeth Foundation for American Art/Artists Rights Society (ARS)This class is eligible for access rates. Come join us for an immersive, hands on drawing plein air class. In this, students will build on your drawing skills to explore how to start a composition by working with effective scale. Working on site at the Olson House and surrounding grounds, learn how the tools of incorporating scale can bring a broader perspective to your work. Use contrasting lines, shapes, and sizes to create a sense of scale and build dynamic compositions with broader visual interest. The first half of the day will focus on observational drawing, with individualized instruction woven throughout. In the second half, students are welcome to explore other media. Group discussion and optional critique will provide opportunities to reflect on process and deepen understanding. As a starting point to the class, we will look at works featuring the use of scale by Andrew Wyeth of the Olson House, as well as other properties, to draw inspiration and insight. This class is being taught a second time in August, with a different focus on technique and subject matter. Check it out here. Class schedule: Pre-class zoom: Wednesday, June 10th, 3-4 pm. Zoom will be recorded and sent to any registrants not able to join. Workshop day: Thursday, June 11thRain date: Friday, June 12thStudents should bring their own drawing supplies, alternative media you wish to use, easels (if desired), stools, water, snacks, bagged lunch, and bug/tick protection. Please be aware there are no bathroom facilities at the Olson House and plan accordingly there is a lunch stand and a general store nearby that have facilities. Please note: The ability to draw plein air will be weather dependent. Jude Valentine completed her BFA at the Maine College of Art and MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College of Fine Arts.
