This class will stretch the way you think, feel & interpret color. The best mediums (in order of preference) include: Oil, Water-soluble Oil, Acrylic and Pastel. This five week course will offer focus and complete instruction on how to use an impressionist palette and set up a painting using temperature painting. I choose the subject that the class will work from every other week. The weeks that I do not, students will work on their own subject matter. This class format allows for both individual direction & maximum learning potential. Bring the paints that you have to the first class when colors will be discussed. Project will be given for the first class, bring photographs that you would like to work from to class. If you want to add a little or a lot more color to your painting style, this is the class.
