Students will take their own photos as a point of inspiration to create their own interpretation rather than a copy.  From their photos, students will produce a value sketch to learn how to SEE the values.  The value sketch will be the guide for the painting.  They will also learn how to set up a palette for landscape painting.  Students will learn to see and express color, values and the illusion of depth.  Classes will include lectures, demonstrations, as well as individual instruction. If you are new to the class, please bring a drawing or painting as a sample of your skill level to the first class.
