Do you want to cram 5 years of experience into just 5 Days?
This Intro to Trompe L’oeil, 30 hour masterclass level course will do just that.
I’ll talk about image making fundamentals through the lens of acrylic paint and trompe l’oeil painting.
I won’t be teaching you how to copy my Unblockable View but I will be teaching you everything you need to know to create your own at home.
Class Sylabus
Day 1 - Saturday, September 12th - Foundations: Egg-in-a-Box
We’ll start with this exercise because it quickly touches on every topic all at once and it gives me a good idea of where each of you is starting so I can better conduct the rest of the course. At the end, we’ll try to revisit it so you can see how much you learned.
We’ll talk form, light and shadow, blending, perspective, straight lines, taping, composition, value mapping and more. The entire rest of the course revisits these topics and builds off of this first simple exercise. DO NOT MISS!
Day 2 - Saturday, September 19th: Learning to See
First we’ll meet, at 10am, at Kiesel Overlook Park down the street to spend about an hour looking, noticing, and taking some photos. Then we’ll head back to the studio to look at architecture and analyze our photos.
We’ll talk about composition, natural vs artificial light, perspective, horizon line vs vanishing point, atmospheric perspective, and good reference images. Homework: Reference Images
Day 3 - Saturday, September 26th: Color, Depth, Perspective
Using your reference photos we’ll be choosing a color palette and painting a small landscape.
We’ll talk more about color, light and shadow, composition, atmospheric perspective, depth of field, and knowing what to keep or scrap, what to do next, and when to stop
Day 4 - Saturday, October 3rd: Image Transfer
Today we’ll be painting one of my images of a Red Rose in a Red Vase on the window sill.
We’ll talk about surface prep, image transfer methods, reflections, perspective, details, and what parts really matter.
Day 5- Saturday, October 10th: The 3D Illusion
In the morning we’ll be doing 2 or 3 exercises to understand how to make a 3D object appear 3D on your 2D surface.
We’ll talk more about light and shadow, light sources, color matching, texture vs the illusion of texture, and perspective.
In the afternoon, we’ll revisit Egg-in -in-a- Box to see how much you’ve learned.
BONUS DAY- Saturday, October 17th
I’ve reserved this day on my calendar just in case we need it. I’ve crammed a lot of information and activities into this course and I want to make sure you’re able to get everything you can out of it. If there’s anything you didn’t finish or didn’t understand from any other day you’ll have this Bonus Day to wrap it all up.
All materials, and a boxed lunch with light drinks and snacks will be provided though, it may be helpful to bring a sketchbook or notebook so you can take notes. You should also bring your Smart Phone or a camera if you have one as we’ll be using it for several of the exercises. (not required, just suggested)
***Sale Ends September 8th***
To ensure we have plenty of room and that everyone gets some one on one attention, this class is kept intentionally small.
ONLY 10 SPOTS AVAILABLE!
This course is great for a beginner but not a complete newb. We’ll cover a lot of fundamental image making topics that will drastically improve your skills no matter your favorite medium however, it is a fast paced class and will be difficult if you’ve never picked up a brush.
Deposit is non-refundable. Balance will be automatically charged one week from your initial transaction and is due no later than Friday, September 11th at 7pm.
*class instruction will be video recorded.
***I have one partial scholarship available for this course. Use the Masterclass Scholarship application at the bottom of the product page to apply.***
