Fall 1: September 15-November 2
MONDAYS
Time: 6PM-8PM
Class Description:
Working from photos, memory and outdoor sketches students will paint landscape compositions that explore representation into abstraction and the suggestion of a place rather than a literal depiction. This is a mixed levels class for students with some painting experience and is also suitable for beginners. Experienced students can continue their practice and experiment with different techniques, looking at some of the great abstract painters for ideas. Students will paint with Acrylic paint on canvas and board.
