Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this figure painting class:

By working from observation, students will master both technical and conceptual aspects of drawing and painting. Color theory and color mixing will be discussed. The goal is to teach students to create a realistic image through mastering tonal (in drawing) or color (in painting) relationships. No experience for drawing is required, but for painting prior drawing experience is highly recommended.
