Course Details

What’s next in the "studio" can be a conundrum, and plein air days are on hold. Come explore various painting approaches using your own reference materials as subject. Whether working representationally or abstractly, students will develop new ways to think about their work by simplifying elements to build a solid composition, observation of light and values, color mixing, and paint application. Instruction includes discussion, critiques, and personal attention. Painting experience is useful, however all levels welcome. Class members work in water media only (watercolor or acrylic paint, no oils on campus). For the first class, come prepared with several reference samples of subjects important to you to paint from.
