Cancelled - Fooling around with the Masters, with Betsy Payne Cook

A unique opportunity to celebrate April Fool’s day by painting from the masters of art history! Have you ever looked at an old master painting and envisioned it in a more contemporary setting? Do you think it would be a fun challenge to replicate that image? Maybe alter the color palette or merge multiple paintings. The class will begin with ways to jumpstart creative options. Once a master painting is chosen, we will work on how to scale the art image proportions and merge your vision with the original master’s work. This class is not intended as a lesson in forgery, but who knows what will happen! Come have fun and see if you can fool the viewer with your copy or your reinvented masterpiece! Selection of images of master artist paintings will be available in class, but feel free to bring your favorite. $60/$50 for members.
