Event Details

Learn painting practicalities while developing your personal imagery, creativity, and approach to painting. Each week I will demonstrate one or two of a variety of techniques; brushwork, texture, and pattern, mark-making, glazing, mediums, stenciling, and more. There will be Q and A time as well as constructive encouraging critiques. Students will have a portion of the time to work on their paintings during the class, though a lot of the time to paint will be on your own, between classes, using what you’ve learned during the session. Together we will create a painting community that offers support and artistic growth during this time of isolation. ENROLL HERE

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Yakov Smirnoff is a legend in American comedy. After escaping communist Soviet Russia in the 1970’s, he came to this country with nothing but a dream. Not even knowing the language, Yakov humbly began working as a bartender at the famous Grossinger’s Catskill Resort in New York, where he was able to tell jokes each night after his shifts. As his English improved, he quickly grew in popularity. He would then make the move to Los Angeles where the owner of The Comedy Store, Mitzi Shore, took him under her wing.

His lovable view of life through the eyes of a poor immigrant captured the hearts of America. He soared to the top of the comedy world performing on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson and countless other television programs, including as a regular character on “Night Court” and the star of his very own show, named after his famous catch-phrase, “What a Country!” He branched out to the big screen where he starred in movies with Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, and Jack Nicholson to name a few.

Yakov Smirnoff is an iconic comedian, movie star, best-selling author and most recently, he has earned a doctorate degree in Leadership from Pepperdine University. Living a life that’s as exciting as ever, Yakov has married his sweetheart, is currently touring the world doing stand-up, and even has his very own theater in Branson, Missouri. With the heart of dreamer, Yakov Smirnoff has made the impossible possible and continues to inspire others with his message that America is still “What a Country!” Keep an eye out for his brand new podcast on ABC radio, look for him at a theater near you, and stay tuned for what Dr. Yakov does next!
