Class Description

Description

This class while focused on Painting, will encourage all students to begin and continue to truly develop and sustain their own work.

Artists of all levels and skills are welcome. We will push your work technically and conceptually. Working in a larger studio will allow students to work on projects for several weeks at a time, and also to create work on larger scale. We will also explore mediums in more depth, so has to have a wider range of paints and tools at our disposal.

This will be a more individually tailored course where the instructor will help you to kickstart, maintain, and sustain your work to allow you to delve deeper into your own practice..(Acrylics preferred)

Additional Information:

Materials:

  • Drawing utensils ( charcoal, variety of pencils, paper)
  • Painting: a set of acrylics
