Don Dodrill

 

Don Dodrill has been teaching art for over 32 years. His next Watercolor class will be from April 14 through June 2 at the Upper Arlington Lifelong learning Center. Call the Upper Arlington Municipal Building for more information.



 

Jim Glover
Workshop Demo #2  /  Oil on board  /  9" x 12"  /  Sold
 
If you are a painter who is frustrated with how your paintings are turning out, want to take your paintings "further" (to a new level of completion and satisfaction for you), or aren't really sure of what you should be doing next, then these classes are designed especially for you!  Topics to be covered include Art As Drama (Planning Your Painting), Color Mixing with a Limited Palette, Composition, Values/Light and Shadow, Edges, and a Studio/Plein Aire session.  Participants will work on whatever subject matter they choose, not everyone painting from the same reference material.  We will be here to help you, not dictate what you will paint, and want you to be passionate about what you choose to develop.  No homework is assigned, but we welcome you to bring projects you are perfecting at home for evaluation and encouragement.
 
We are also offering to teach a popular class for those who've done little or no art in the past, but would like to learn the process.  Entitled "How to Start Making Art," this class will begin with the very basics of drawing what you see with a pencil (and we don't want any straight lines with a ruler, so you can drop that excuse right now!) and develop your skills and confidence through colored pencil and on into watercolors in just six short weeks!  If that describes you, or someone you think might be interested, please let me know.
 
If you don't know me, I'm a life-long artist who has been self-taught with the help of lots of reading, workshops and classes, and one who understands the difficulties of the awkward "learning curve" we all encounter in trying to grow into "fine artists." Along the way, I've managed to win a bit of acclaim and a few awards.  My wife tells me that good teachers are those who had to struggle to learn their subject themselves.  I certainly qualify!  Our classes are full of positive reinforcement mixed with suggestions and advice on how to strengthen your painted "statement," with either hands-on help on your project, or a demonstration to help you "get it."  Each class will include an opportunity for you to bring in work for supportive critiques and tips as means to pass on some of my accumulated knowledge and experience.
 
"Whispering Rapids"  /  Oil on canvas on board  /  12" x 16"  
 
In considering previous sessions, one of the ongoing shortcomings was the length of the class itself, and the length of the series of classes.  We've decided to try a slightly different approach with classes lasting hours (instead of 2) and running for 6 weeks (instead of 8).  On occasion (like every week?) the discussion and demos at the beginning of the class time run longer than anticipated and we end up short of time for participants to work on their projects.  Those of you who have attended one of my classes before know that we usually start early and run late, so in effect, there will be 3 hours of instruction each week.  That will result in around 18 hours of class time, and hopefully lead to fewer schedule conflicts than an 8 week schedule.  Starting on September 13 (with a probable break for one week for surgery), we will make available a number of potential options for times hopefully convenient to your schedule.  Time slots available are:

 
Monday mornings, 9:30 a.m. to 12 Noon
Monday afternoons, 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Monday evenings, 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Tuesday mornings, 9:30 a.m. to 12 Noon
Tuesday afternoons, 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Wednesday evenings, 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Saturday afternoons, 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. (not yet confirmed, but possible)
 
We'll be painting at Christian Community Church North, 5586 Olentangy River Road, just south of SR 161 in Columbus.  Cost for the 6 weeks: $200.
 
So, here's how it works.  We'll need 6 participants to confirm a class.  Phone or email us with with your interest to register for any class time that might work for you. When we have enough folks to put together for a class in a given time slot, we'll notify all those involved.  I realize the time I've given you to register is relatively short, and apologize, but we are facing knee replacement surgery for my wife in the next month, and have had to wait for doctor and hospital schedules to be confirmed.  We'll do our best to group folks into classes and keep everyone (hopefully) happy.   Please contact me with any questions or issues at (614) 451-9423, (614) 439-0917 (cell), or at mailto:jgloverart@mac.com.  Looking forward to meeting you at our first class, and having a great time growing together as artists!  Thanks for your interest!
Contact Jim for further info, or to reserve a space, at 614-451-9423, or email him at jgloverart@mac.com.
