Painting: Images & Ideas
4 Day Workshop | Registration opens 2025-04-15 12:00 PM
This course teaches you how to control colour and light effects to create dramatic images. Each painting technique will be used to express a particular emotion or mood as well as accurately replicate the scene being painted. There are two techniques taught in this class that expand the artist’s repertoire into abstraction. With each technique taught there will be a very brief history lesson in where this technique came from and what the artist(s) intent was in creating the technique so that you can further understand the visual language of paint.
Base Tuition: $360 + Material Fee: $10 = $370 Total
