Explore the personal and emotional element of portraiture painting, without the human figure. Students will paint from sentimental objects of their own choosing, discussing the history, nostalgia and relationships they have with these objects. This class will delve into color mixing, shadow, concept and life-observation through the medium of oil paint.

  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
