About this event

Description

Course Description
Painting/Beginners (Introduction to Painting) is a three-part traditional course designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of traditional oil painting. Students will develop a fundamental understanding of the complex medium of oil and acrylic paint through progressive exercises. Students will learn how to handle paint, mix colors, organize the picture plane, and develop observational skills. Students will work primarily from still life set-ups. Note: While not required, it is highly recommended that you take a basic drawing class prior to taking this class. The focus of this course is on Representational Painting which assumes you have a basic understanding of foundational drawing skills.
