This session will help students learn new techniques and strategies to create successful paintings, whatever the subject.  Students will start with a solid value plan, learn how to correctly match color to value, and use fresh unexpected colors to create successful paintings in and out of class. The class is for students who want to develop a good solid working method and work with non-realistic color. Students do not need to be able to draw to be successful. The grid method will be taught to transfer images to canvas.
