This course is designed for beginner-level students who are interested in learning how to paint with oil or acrylic. Students will learn about several painting materials: various types of mediums, brushes, substrates, and paints. The class projects are going to be easy and fun, such as painting simple objects using a limited color palette. The goal of the course is to familiarize students with a general understanding of painting as a process, the significance of good composition, proportions, and how to mix colors on the palette and canvas. We will also explore and consider how various painting techniques can create wonderful textures. Supply list will be provided prior to class beginning.
