Instructor: Edna Dapo

Description: This 8 week class is open to all levels and styles. The instructor will introduce the materials, talk about the basic color mixing, and the use of brushes, q-tips, palette knife, spray bottle, quantity of paint to use, and adding medium to paint. The following techniques will be addressed: drawing methods in achieving symmetry and perspective, starting a painting using a brown underpainting, how to use oil and acrylic on a painting, how to set up a palette, how much paint/oil to use, how to mix paint, how to layer the painting, how to erase, how to create sharp edges, how to blend, how to paint glass, what is glazing, how to properly clean and care for acrylic and oil brushes, and more.
 Beginning students start with a still-life painting using old masters techniques of building layers.
 Returning students can complete unfinished work or start something new - Please get your own reference material or use free stock photos/public domain.
 Learning how to see and push paint around while in a creative environment is the most important thing on your artistic journey. Allow yourself to explore and experiment - there is not a specific way to paint a tree! Have an open mind about the joy of the process itself, and leave perfection at the door.
