Learn the basics and some advanced techniques as we cover the fundamentals: brushes, paint and paper. Lessons include color mixing, value, composition, and basic drawing. Students have the opportunity to draw or to transfer images to focus solely on painting. Let’s take the medium as far as it will go; we will work with salt, ink, spraying, splattering, dripping, tilting, and mixed media. Class open to both beginners and advanced artists.
