Painting | Kylie Proudfoot-Payne | All Levels | Evening Mini-Class | Week 2, July 14-16
Class Description: This three-session mini-course focuses on the creation of paintings in the environment for the beginning to advanced painter. The class will focus on trial and error through the process of painting. We will learn as we go while painting outside! With an introduction to the techniques utilized traditionally and non-traditionally in plein air painting participants will discover what works for them. Basic supplies, surfaces, and acrylic paint will be provided although participants may choose to bring their own painting supplies if applicable.
Notes: Participants are asked to come prepared to work in an outside environment and dress comfortably with layers. Covered accommodations will be provided in case of rain. Be prepared to walk or navigate over uneven surfaces if needed. Accommodations can be made for accessible working environments.
Kylie Proudfoot-Payne is a painter, teaching artist, and creative explorer from Belington, West Virginia. Kylie’s artist statement: ” I paint light within a landscape on traditional and nontraditional surfaces with acrylic paint. Most often my products are large landscape paintings, installation environments, fabric sculptures or painted costumes. For some projects I integrate tech into the surface of my paintings to further engage the viewer/audience with the painting process. Living in Belington with my family I am often exploring the north central West Virginia area capturing the changing light within the Tygart Valley Watershed. When not creating my own art I am a teaching artist with ArtsBank Inc., a teaching artist residency program in Randolph County. I received a BA in Psychology/Human Services and Art Education from Davis & Elkins college, December 2005.”
