Value Does All the Work

Value Does all the Work but Color Gets All the Credit 

Jan Norsetter 

In this oil painting class we will explore the role of value vs color. We’ll start by doing  some very basic value studies and progress to using color. The aim of this class is to give you some experience in dissecting a scene or photo, being able to start a painting and continue the painting to a degree of finish. We will paint several studies and some basic color charts exploring the role of color palettes in paintings.  For substrates you can use canvas paper, gessoed paper, or gessoed panels. I will have available gessoed mat boards 7.5” x 10” ($1 each). These are what I use to create value studies. See supply list for paints and other supplies to bring. Sat. April 7,  9am - 3pm & Sun. April 8, 10am - 3pm  $240

Jan Norsetter is an award-winning oil painter known for vibrant landscape paintings en plein air and evocatively detailed studies in still life. Norsetter also practices the decorative art of rosemaling, using skill and an artist’s sensibility to embellish items traditional and modern in an age-old form.

Norsetter paints en plein air (painting in the open air) to imbue her paintings with a sense of place. She works outdoors in every season, painting close to home in Wisconsin and on travels to the western United States and overseas to Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Norway.

The artist has exhibited in more than 30 juried, collaborative or solo art shows. Selected paintings, prints and her rosemaling are in many permanent and private collections across the country. Awards include top honors in numerous plein air competitions and rosemaling exhibitions. In addition to her work as an artist, Norsetter teaches landscape painting and rosemaling. She continues to draw inspiration from respected mentors in oil painting and rosemaling.

Three Wisconsin-based galleries represent Norsetter’s work: Zazen Gallery in Paoli, and Pink Llama Gallery in Cedarburg.
