IN PERSON
Do you love animals, and enjoy drawing them? Do you want to learn how to paint them in rich color with acrylics? Come and learn how to use a grid to transfer an image from your chosen photo to a black gessoed surface, and then learn how to mix the colors you need and paint your creature! You can choose to paint a beloved pet of yours or you can paint a wild animal from a photo.
Kat will have a variety of photos you can choose from, or you can send your own to Kat ( katcorriganart@gmail.com) and she’ll crop it for you. To make sure we are all successful in this one day class, Kat recommends you choose a head shot of your animal, not a full body.
You’ll get all materials necessary and you’ll have fun! At the end of class, you’ll leave with a completed painting, ready to be framed!

I am inspired by light and shadow, how color works together to make areas pulse and recede, and the way brush strokes and layers of paint can influence emotional responses to a work. My work is impressionistic, in a expressionistic manner. I paint on black allowing some of the black to show through; this contrasts against the brightness of the colors in a way similar to the luminosity found in batik.
I have been painting for over twenty years, more seriously since 2007, and nearly daily since 2010. My influences have been literary, spiritual, personal and artistic. I read voraciously, fiction and non, and prefer visual writers and poetry. John Singer Sargent’s brushstrokes caught my eye through their tangible translation of the sense of touch in a brushstroke, and Alice Neel’s psychological portraits have demonstrated how to explain personality through the use of contrast and color. Of course, Vincent VanGogh’s hysterical and wise use of textured and energetic line have encouraged me since childhood. https://katcorrigan.com/
