Composition in Oils or Acrylics

Students will learn to balance contrasting color, texture, pattern, tonal relationship and form while building confidence using personal brushwork.  Use of warm and cool colors, wet-into-wet blending, glazing, perspective and palette organization provide the knowledge to complete a composition. Open to all levels, yet some experience is helpful. Please come to the first class prepared to discuss which color medium you will choose and with all materials.
Class is located on the second floor.
