It refers to the uncanny ability to take a narrative, characters, or ideas in your head and bring them to life with nothing but some art supplies and effort. Pure wizardry! In this course you'll learn some basic steps to take an idea to a fully realized comic story. I'll share with you some of the tools passed on to me by my mentors and examples of how it's worked for me on past projects.
Artists will be given prompts to work from to create original stories based in the fictional continent of Keltina, a place filled with monsters, magic, and people of all types. With a little direction the artist will learn the tools and resources to create their own works or collaborate in the future.
The main goals of this course are to craft creative confidence by learning to embrace the process, empower the artist to create a comic from start to finish, and embolden the artist to iterate and expand on their ideas!

Class # Dates & Times Days Sessions Tuition Master Member Tuition Supply Fee Code 6403 Oct 19 | 10:00 AM-02:00 PM PST Saturday 1 $ 62 $ 56 $ 0 Instructor: Mark Takamichi Miller Do you get tired of spending lots of money on inferior pre-stretched canvases at the art supply stores? Do you want to paint 60”x72” without spending $400 on a canvas that is not made to last? Making a canvas this size can cost as little as $25 to make yourself. The quality of canvas is much higher and the flexibility you have with priming options is much greater. Come see how to easily make your own supports from small wood panels to large stretched canvas. After you prepare your canvas then you will learn how to paint on it using oil paints. To paint in oil you need mediums. Mediums are what we add to oil paint to make it brushable, or spreadable and come alive with a unique character all its own. The masters carefully guarded their own formulations of oil mediums because they knew how important they were to the very essence of the painting. Now making your own oil medium or even understanding how to use the readymade mediums in the store is becoming a lost art. Historically the alchemy of paint occupied many artists all of their lives. Find out what you may have been missing in your painting and straighten out the confusing array of mediums. Making your own oil paint mediums is easy and much cheaper, avoid the art store and get some of your materials for much less. Find out how to put together your own set of paints and how to use them in one lesson. Then try them all out and see how they can make such a huge difference. In addition we will cover Non-Toxic Oil Painting.

In the end you may not have a carefully proportioned model but you will have a canvas where all the parts work visually together in shape and color. We will be using Richard Diebenkorn and others for artistic examples. Rapid course corrections, intuition, and lack of preciousness will be encouraged as well as very intense looking.

First we will understand how to create and see color using a limited pallette which will teach you how to mix and see subtle color much more effectively. Then, studying particular masters, we will unlock the color harmony in their work so that you can reproduce it in a work of your own. In the end you will have at least two paintings to take home that you can use to find your own individual palette. We will be using oil paint and canvas which is provided for you, please bring your own brushes and palette knives if you have them.

In this workshop we will create our own zines starting with prompts and exercises to produce fragments of poetry and prose to blend with stamping, drawing, painting, and collage techniques. The zines will be sewn by machine, hand or stapled. This technique is a great way to communicate thoughts and feelings quickly.
