All media and levels, beginning to advanced, are welcome. Students may work in the medium of their choice including by not limited to oils, acrylic, watercolors, pastels, pen & ink and drawing. All aspects of painting – color theory, materials, drawing, etc. – are dealt with in-depth. Students are taught composition, artistic and technical skills and encouraged to develop their own style. Students are not required to take a set number of sessions nor is there a limit to the number of sessions one can take.  All students are required to bring their own art supplies. A supply list will be given at the time students register for classes. Mr. Roark’s own diverse education in artistic techniques, color, and approaches afforded him a unique perspective which allowed him to develop his own distinctive style of realism. Throughout his career Mr. Roark has won national recognition and many honors, awards and accolades for his luminous paintings, widely diverse subject matter, and artistic technique. Mr. Julian Baird of Tree’s Place described Mr. Roark’s paintings as “a mastery of reflected light” and his interior scenes have elicited references to Vermeer, “while still modern and completely Mr. Roark’s own in style and subject.” Six Thursdays, October 8-November 12, from 1-3pm. Call to register.
