Whether you’re a beginner or advanced painter, you’ll take a fresh look at principles that bring strength to your paintings. In this fun, hands
-on course, we’ll first work in black and white to help build a strong composition. Then we’ll move to color and texture. These principles will
help you create work that's unique to you. You’ll learn to view your work and the work of others in a powerful way. You'll also learn how to
get unstuck when faced with painting challenges. In the class, we’ll work with acrylic paints and drawing materials on 12” x 12” wood panels. The wood panels will be provided during the first class.
