Develop your artistic potential in a course that offers an introduction to two forms of expression. Beginning with still-life observation, students examine technical aspects such as line, volume, and perspective through class instruction and demonstrations. Learning to identify shapes of light and shadow to represent form is emphasized. At their own pace, students translate the principles of drawing into the process of painting, practicing the fundamentals of mixing colors, layering, and brush-handling. Recommended for all levels of experience; students may paint in oil, acrylic, or both.
