"You only have available to you some simple materials: paint in tubes, a palette, brushes, a painting ground like canvas or gessoed panel, and two dimensions. Yet, with these limited materials, and a profound understanding of the importance of value, abstraction, and the relationships of abstract value shapes, you can create vibrant, shimmering, powerful paintings that beam with the illusion of light."

From a Perrin Method Student:
"Out of all the classes/workshops/courses I've taken, this may be the best. Dennis presents a way of seeing and approaching a painting that changed my mental processes about it after one class. His method of teaching and clarity of content, coupled with his ability to explain as he works, is unique in my experience. Added to that, he has a background support team that keeps everything running smoothly. If you really want to learn what painting is and how to do it, I highly recommend it." – C.S.
