This class will address various aspects of the painting process, including drawing, color theory, technique and composition. Our meetings will be a combination of instruction, demonstrations, discussions of historical and
contemporary examples and presentations/explanations of weekly studio assignments. Completing their work at home, participants will produce small paintings in acrylic on paper and canvas and be encouraged to share
their work each week. We will look at various sources and subjects, while different treatments – ranging from naturalistic to abstract -- will be considered. All levels of experience and individual direction are welcome.

-Soft body acrylic paints (2 oz. size; Liquitex brand recommended) in the following
required colors: Cadmium Red medium; quinacridone magenta; cadmium yellow med.;
