This course will help students strengthen their observation painting skills. To do so we’ll look at how to design a compelling composition. To achieve this we’ll learn to simplify what we see while using both linear and atmospheric perspective. Students will develop a sensitivity to light, color, and tone that will bring a feeling of mood to their work. The course will also cover material handling and how to represent different surfaces and textures. Students who complete this course will have an understanding of the artistic principle that will help them when working directly from observation. Min 4, Max 10 participants

We Acrylic Paints: Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow, Ultramarine Blue, Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sieanna, Windsor Newton make good quality inexpensive acrylic paints.
