We hold classes mornings, afternoons and evenings every day except Sundays and holidays. Our weekly classes are organized into fall, winter, spring and summer terms. Classes last from 1 hour for children to 2- to 3 hours for adults.

DRAWING & SEEING – ALL LEVELS

Discover the essential drawing fundamentals needed to capture line and shading (value transitions) to render the impression of representational form. Learn also how to observe these visual phenomenon by learning how to see through direct observation. The goal is to apply these principles in producing a well-developed still life or landscape drawing. We will also learn some fundamentals in constructing the human head by drawing from a plaster cast and understanding the planes that make up the structures of the face and head. Drawing media will be in graphite or charcoal pencils. Max. 8 students. Living Greenwich Welcome To Greenwich greenwich_in_the_know Greenwich Events

Watercolor Seascapes with Greta Corens Greta Corens
Celebrate summer through the beauty of the sea. In this watercolor course, we will paint a wide variety of seascapes — from delicate beaches and luminous waterfronts to colorful boats, tropical waters, gentle ripples, and powerful crashing waves.

Students will explore how to paint water, sky, sand, reflections, boats, and coastal atmosphere while developing stronger watercolor technique and a freer, more expressive hand. A perfect summer course for painters who love the sea, light, movement, and the fresh possibilities of watercolor.

Choices of subject matter range from figures, landscape, or still life. You will also be learning how to set up a full palette and how to create a strong compositional design. Students will learn to see and express color, values and the illusion of depth as they take their own photos as a point of inspiration to create their own interpretation rather than a copy. Classes will include lectures, demonstrations, as well as individual instruction. If you are new to the class, please bring a drawing or painting as a sample of your skill level to the first class.
Not required but new students should have some drawing experience.

The Greenwich Art Society is offering WATERCOLOR FOUNDATIONS (July session)
with painter GRETA CORENS

This foundational course sequence addresses the essential technical skills of watercolor painting that are often fragmented or omitted in prior instruction. Students systematically relearn brush control, washes, blending, layering, edges, and controlled effects through guided studio practice. Emphasis is placed on understanding cause and effect in watercolor, developing muscle memory, and obtaining or restoring confidence through correct sequencing.

4 Mondays / July 6 - 27 5-7:30 pm

Art and design teacher, Greta Corens, began teaching after a career as a successful fashion designer in NYC. She specializes in portraiture, botanical watercolors, landscapes and illustration.

"My paintings are realistic, but they also translate personality and have a soul that vibrates with sensitive qualities that set them apart, where no photography can tread."

She received a master's degree in Art, Architecture, and Design at St. Imelda Institute, div. of St. Lucas Architectural Institute in Brussels, Belgium.
