\n Robert Noreika is returning this winter with instruction in his signature “fluid” painting method. Students are invited to work in either watercolor or acrylic\, and will experience Robert’s relaxed teachi ng approach\, which has been enjoyed by many students and professional art ists through the years. Robert has an incredible ability to spontaneously see the big picture and transfer it onto paper by assessing different valu es and colors to create a painting\, not an illustration. Students will le arn to take the essence of the subject and transform it into a pleasing pa inting\, while achieving strong\, cohesive value patterns with interesting shapes. Using simple palette combinations along the journey\, the group w ill work creatively from photo references and still life setups. Students of all levels\, including beginners\, will enjoy working with Robert in a structured and accommodating\, yet humorous and fun atmosphere.
