Description

This course starts with the basics of painting where we will explore a variety of mediums, like watercolor and tempera, and progresses gradually to more complex subjects and concepts. We will use nature to inspire our studies of plants, leaves, fruits, and vegetables, as well as create still life compositions and landscapes. 3D effects will be created in the observation of light and shade.
