Portland Artist, Scott Conary,Teaches Painting to Hermits & Introverts Online During COVID-19

We love to promote Portland artists and art teachers.  We discovered that Portland artist, Scott Conary has been teaching an ongoing painting class online since April 2020, making it especially relevant during COVID-19.  It's a combination of live video demos, discussions and even art critiques if you so desire.  He feels that his style of teaching suits hermits and introverts because you get to paint and get instruction all from the comfort of your own home studio.  

If you should need any painting supplies, please don't hesitate to make an art supply order with us at this link.

He emphasizes teaching the formal elements of art such as light, shade, tone, and he does so with humor and a reverence for finding what works best for each individual artist.  Here's what he says you'll learn from him:

• The online class offers something different from the in-person class and workshop. While I won't be able to reach over your shoulder and touch your painting, you can participate as your schedule allows, access content that might otherwise be inaccessible due to cost, time, and distance, and be part of a community of other artists.
• Classes are a combination of live broadcasts through Zoom, suggested assignments, online demonstration and discussion, critiques, and limited private correspondence. The live broadcasts are the magic and meat of these classes. They include slide presentations, demonstrations, and question and answer sessions. Each broadcast is recorded so that students can review the material at their leisure (or if they couldn't attend the live broadcast). Online discussion is optional and will take place in private facebook groups.
• If you'd like to participate in a group critique, that is available in addition to the class. Enrollment in the group critique is limited.

It's only $40 per month and the live Zoom demo and discussion are every Thursday at 11 am.  Click this link to enroll and get more info.
