This class is for beginners and experienced painters alike. If you are a beginner, the instructor will take you through your first painting step-by-step. If you have taken this course before, you will learn additional techniques and develop your own style while using the subjects of your choice. Students will also get the benefit of color theory instruction as it relates to their paintings. Many experienced painters in this class now practice Joyce's original knife painting technique, and new students are welcome to experiment with this impressionistic style if they wish. A materials list can be found online at www.SweetwaterArtCenter.org/classes.
