While working on small drawings/thumbnails, we will use the Josie Lewis book on Color Mixing to practice, and therefore deepen experience of color relationships. These are playful and very informative patterns of simple mixing, and suggest the use of watercolor. (Note from the instructor: "I am not a watercolorist, and have long experience in color theory). Colored pencils can also be used. Both media take time. There will be a series of videos/demos to deepen your understanding of the lessons. These are password-protected, available to registrants. The class will meet on Webex for lessons and critiques of your work. No class on May 25.

Students must have an audio and video-enabled computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate. Merrymeeting will send you information about accessing the class prior to its start date.

Learn or fine-tune your lighting skills with Leah such as various types of lighting sources commonly used in photography. We will start off with natural sunlight and continuous light and work our way to on-camera and off-camera flash with examples and comparisons of each. By the end of this short introductory class, you will learn to see light better and use it to best suit the composition of your scene or subject. Class meets on Zoom. No discounts.
