Class Description:
In this fun and relaxed class, students explore the fundamentals of painting to gain knowledge of materials and techniques to set them on a path to creating original artwork. Through observation, students will explore basic painting concepts such as composition, value, color, line, shape, and form. We will also explore: color theory, paint application, and how to paint layer by layer. Students will learn how to paint what they see and discuss selecting good reference photos. We will work in acrylics but these concepts can be applied to any art medium. This course will be aimed at beginners; however, artists of any experience level are welcome to attend. The instructor's goal is to provide a warm supportive environment for learning.
