DESCRIPTION:General Painting- Landscapes\, Still life\, Portraits\, Abstracts. sketches\, photos\, etc. Beginner to advanced  \nJune 2- July 14\, 2026 \nTuesday:  9:30-12:30 pm \nStudio 1 \nThis painting course introduces you to the painting process and the common stages and techniques that artists follow to create a work of art. This process can vary greatly depending on the artist\, the medium and the subject matter. \nYou learn and follow the process starting with conception of an idea or an inspiration\, gathering references\, designing and composing your canvas or painting surface\, selecting materials and colors\, and executing the painting by sketching and blocking. Each stage is described and explained by the instructor. \nBeginners\, always start painting from still life set ups in the studio and will do several still life paintings before choosing their own subject matter. \nIntermediate and advanced artists may paint several paintings and use more advanced techniques as well as their own subjects and learn to identify the techniques of choice and perhaps develop a style. Any subject of choice is allowed from still life to landscapes\, or abstracts. In recent classes some schools of painting have been studied with small studies conducted in the class. \nCome with your existing setup with colors\, brushes\, pencils\, and other tools plus your \nsketchbook and canvas. The first class will include a discussion of materials and supports/painting surface (canvas\, paper or boards).

SUMMARY:Painting Momentum with Anna  George_ May 19 _  July 7  _ Tuesdays _1-4pm _ Studio 2 
DESCRIPTION:May 19   –    July 7   2026 \nTuesdays 1-4pm \nStudio 2 \n$165/185 \n8 weeks \n  \nPainting Momentum – Summer Sessions\nWelcome to a comfortable place to jumpstart your art alongside other painters like you. \nI am often by your side at your easel helping you engage\, facilitating our working studio\, and celebrating art-making. For me it’s like home\, in which my focus is to give you constant\, practical support as you paint what you love. You’ll be nailing the fundamentals—whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or have a degree in fine art. \nInside this warm\, creative space we tackle essentials that make paintings work and we keep the mood light. There is room to explore. You might experience the class as a friendly\, collaborative workshop. Have a specific technique problem? Suggest I demonstrate? Let’s go. \nFor fifteen years I’ve seen great growth and feel pride in my students. I suggest starting with 8×10 photo\, something clean\, simple\, elegant. Work in oils\, acrylics\, or watercolor\, abstract or representational. Returning students are exceptionally welcoming to new students–it’s supportive all around. \nI’m here to share what I know and seek to know after making a living selling my art\, from galleries and exhibitions here in the U.S to shows in Italy. Since then I’ve loved being a sherpa to many over the years here in Rossmoor. Fun and success are capped off as we produce our own in-house show\, displaying our work-in-progress and finished pieces\, talking together about them\, and enjoying a table laden with deliciousness. \nIf you’re new to painting you’ll receive a materials list that offers guidance on paint brands\, brush types\, etc. Join Painting Momentum by first becoming an RAA member ($10) at rossmoorart.com and then register for the class. Do this early. Call me at 925.783.9000 or email anna.silks@gmail.com with any questions. Let’s make some art. \nIf you want to see my work\, abstract and representational and silk pieces are online at annageorgeartist.com and annageorgeonline.com (silk work). Ask me about work I’m showing right now in Oakland. See you soon \n

SUMMARY:Drawing Nature\, Still Life\, Landscapes_ Afsaneh Michaels_June 2— July 14_ Tuesdays _2:00-4:30 pm _Studio 1
DESCRIPTION:Drawing Nature\, Still Life\, Landscapes\nJune 2— July 14\, 2026\nTuesdays 2:00-4:30 pm\nStudio 1\nI aspire to empower my student artists by helping build a solid foundation in observation\, technique\, and artistic understanding in drawing. My teaching approach focuses on building fundamental skills and understanding core artistic concepts. \nFundamentals of drawing are best understood through a study of visual thinking and detailed and methodical practice over several weeks with individualized attention from Afsaneh. A wide range of materials and mediums are gradually introduced with demonstrations. \nIn all my classes I create a friendly environment without judgement where you see and appreciate a variety of art and inspire each other. Beginners\, intermediate\, and more experienced students work together in one class\, each group working on material appropriate to their group\, overlaps are encouraged among the various levels. \nAll drawing students learn the elements of art and principles of design introduced as foundational vocabulary. These are: line\, shape\, value (understanding of light)\, form (representation of the three dimension)\, texture\, space\, composition\, and proportion\, and learn to draw using different subject matter such as objects in a still life\, or what nature offers such as branches\, leaves\, small flowers\, fruits\, vegetable\, a bird\, butterfly\, or a landscape of choice. \nBeginners Will have one or two completed drawings with three or four components. Great emphasis is put upon learning the foundational skills and principles of drawing and design. Teacher chooses all the subject matter.\nBeginners come to the first class half an hour early to meet and greet and to receive the beginner materials. \nIntermediate students produce more complex drawings of natural materials or scenery or a still life\, perhaps work on a series and learn to use color (optional) with colored pencils\, pastels\, or watercolor mixed with drawing. This group produces several drawings\, some in color and some in graphite or charcoal pencil. \nMore advanced students work with scale\, tonal variation and more detail and color and possibly work on a self generated project\, ie. A garden of their choice or other subjects. \nWe will use pencils\, charcoal\, colored pencils\, pens\, but a lesser extent watercolor ( always combined with pencils or pens). Great emphasis is on drawing real objects or specimens and not necessarily working from photos. Small things are brought into the studio or from your home as models. \nPlease come with your materials or at least a sketchbook and some pencils to the first class and learn about materials then. \nInstructor: Afsaneh Michaels AfsanehAm@gmail.com\nJune 2-July 14\, 2026\nTuesdays 2:00-4:30 pm\nStudio 1\nClass Fee: $210.00 Members. $230.00 Non-members\nNumber of students: 18\nMaterials: Sketchbook: 1) 93-120 Ibs. weight of your choice. 2) Pencils: 6B\, 5B\, 4B\, 3B\, 2B\, B\, F\, H\, 2H\, 4H. 3) Set of charcoal pencils. 4) Pink/white eraser. 5) kneaded rubber eraser. 6) Pencil sharpener. 7) Gray scale.\n8) Blending stumps. 9) Small ruler\, 10) Set of colored pencils if you choose color (Prismacolor is ideal but other brands work too).
