Ron Elstad's Classes

For those of you in the southern California area, I teach classes every Saturday and/or Monday afternoon between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.. In these classes you will receive instruction on the aspects of compositional design for landscape painting, the procedures for painting wet into wet (the art of mixing the paint directly on the canvas), the theory of light and how to use color to produce the light's effect on what you see and brush and/or palette knife techniques for applying the paint for optimum results.

These open-ended classes are offered at nominal fee of $40.00 per three hour class. My classes are held in a fully equipped professional art studio. This studio has been located for over thirty years in the upstairs loft area of the Ace hardware store at 2666 Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa, California. I also provide private lessons for those who would prefer this type of venue, at a fee of $100.00 for a four hour session.
