Private Classes

7Well, it's spring, 2014! Jim has 2 classes starting in May, so read on...

PAINTING AT MOUNTAIN SAGE
Once again, we will invade the beautiful grounds at Mountain Sage Nursery in Groveland for a painting class. Artists from beginners to advanced will study all painting media. Jim can teach oils, acrylics, watercolor, pastel, what have you. He can also teach composition and design, color theory, and - of course - technique. This year Jim has planned trips to Rainbow Pools and Yosemite! We'll meet at Mountain Sage Nursery on Hwy. 120 in Groveland, starting in May.

If you live close enough to join this class, you may email me at jimleitz@hughes.net for more details, or call 209 878-0935.

Drawing class

BASIC DRAWING
Have you always wanted to learn to draw but didn't think you had the talent? Or maybe you love to draw, but don't know how to develop your drawing skills. This class is for you. In 12 class sessions you will learn the 5 basic skills you need to draw really well. And it isn't about training your hand to draw, but is really about training your eyes to see the things you want to draw. These seeing skills are:

Seeing the edges of things
Seeing the shape of space
Seeing light and shadows
Seeing proportions
Seeing the whole, or gestalt

When you practice these skills, the world becomes a richer place. You will see with new eyes.

Coming this fall at the Little House Senior Center in Groveland. You can join us, call or email Jim at jimleitz@hughes.net or 209 878-0935.
