The Accidental Masterpiece (Intermediate to Advanced) with Ed Chesnovitch

The Museum School at the Cape Cod Museum of Art presents:

The Accidental Masterpiece (Intermediate to Advanced) with Ed Chesnovitch

(5) Tuesdays, March 12 - April 9, from 10:00- 12:30 pm.

Member $188 / Non-Member $200

A good painting always needs a few things from the painter; 

Be Passionate

Be Fearless 

and Trust the Process.

Being open to trying new techniques and taking risks, keeps things fresh and exciting. In this class, we’ll concentrate on the importance of Design, Value, Color, and Rhythm to make your art stronger with your personal voice! 

Learn to simplify and get the bones of your painting down first, without wasting time in the beginning with unnecessary details… “ya don’t put up the curtains till the house is built”! 

Discover the importance of building up a surface history in your paintings, how “taking off” is just as important as “putting on”, as well as the magnificence of mark-making. Weekly exercises will definitely get you out of your comfort zone and give you permission to play, explore, and throw the concept of perfection out the back door!

Get ready to paint and have some fun, because you never know when the next accidental masterpiece comes to fruition.

This is not a beginner’s class and is not formatted for watercolors. Bring the supplies you want to work with for the first class and we’ll take it from there.
