Beginning Painting I & II introduces the materials, methods, and tools for students using either acrylic or oil paint. In addition to students developing sharper observational skills, the class will investigate painting materials, applications, color, form, and ideas through both contemporary and traditional methodologies. Skills are accessed and expanded though frequent group critiques. The end goal is to build painting confidence, and to develop each student’s unique vision of the world.
