Instructor: Mariam Alcantara
This course focuses on developing observational painting skills using acrylic or oil paint. Composition, form, value, color theory, and paint application will be covered. Students create paintings with a variety of color relationships, textures, and surfaces, while rendering basic shapes as a foundation for our compositions. Students learn painting fundamentals, while starting to see the world through a new set of lenses.
This class is intended for beginners and those who want to review the fundamentals of painting. A background in drawing is encouraged, but not required.
