Introduction to Painting

In this studio course, students will explore the basic concepts and techniques of painting. We will develop a working familiarity with materials as we investigate color mixing and theory, observation, composition, and abstraction. Students will work in oils and collage on a range of projects inside and outside the studio, including still life, portraiture, and landscape. The course is open to students with limited painting experience and emphasizes the range of possibilities for expression and experimentation within the medium. Each student will be required to purchase materials costing approximately $75.
