About
In this course you will work throughout the semester learning and practicing observational painting techniques discovering how the artist creates and composes a well-rounded painting using oil paints. It is the goal of this course to provide, in addition to the skill and knowledge necessary to make dynamic paintings, a background in aesthetics and history. Each student is expected to build upon a good foundation of drawing, design and color theory, with interest in the craft of materials, and the challenge to creatively express yourself through painting.
