We will dive into color theory, portraiture, landscape art and still life with a variety of painting materials. Students will explore grisaille painting, glazing, and resist techniques as well as different approaches to painting, such as Alla Prima and en Plein Air. Students will learn how to build a canvas frame, and stretch and prime their own canvases for their artwork.
Students should bring a photo reference of something they would like to paint. In this course, students will learn to paint from life, from a reference, and explore conceptual versus perceptual art.
