This course can be for both beginners and intermediate level artists who want to work on learning and developing their expertise in painting and drawing. The class will be dictated by the interests and skill levels of those participating, but either way will result in an increased skill set that you can add to your tool belt for future art making. We’ll work with acrylic painting and pencil drawing, focusing on experimenting with color, value, and shading, working from life and photos. Projects will include still lives, portraits, learning about different mediums, and more.
