Mr. Hoffman was born in Northwest Indiana. He studied at the Chicago Academy
of Fine Art. He also studied under artists Hal Rogoff, Kay Pool, Fredrick Rigley,
Ken Gore, Franklin Jones, Jim Pollard and Don Stone.
Mr. Hoffman believes that accurate drawing and sound composition are
necessary ingredients for successful paintings. He teaches drawing skills and
opaque painting procedures. Oil painters are taught how to create a full range of
colors from a double primary palette. Pastelists are shown a practical way to
arrange their pastels into a system that allows them to easily access colors and
acrylic painters are shown ways to handle acrylic paint without losing their source
colors due to drying.
All students are taught to look for warm and cool colors to create the feeling of
light, energy and depth. They will also be shown how to use values to create
strength and volume. Please do not bring published photos or paintings to copy.
Work from life or your own photos.
