Painting with Acrylics
This painting course will explore color, composition, and the use of acrylic paint. This course is for beginner painters and those with previous painting experience. Working on paper as well as canvas, students will gain proficiency in the use of water-based acrylic paint. Emphasis will be placed on color theory and direct observation. Some still life set-ups will be a jumping-off point to creating an original work of art. Demonstrations by the instructor and references to established artists will help students develop their painting style. Students will not be painting from photos.
