In this class students will complete 3 separate paintings, each pose nine hours in length. Students will be encouraged to explore various methods with emphasis placed on drawing, brushwork and rendering skills. We will start with a strong drawing and underpainting during the first 3 hour session. Session two will emphasize color layering in washes and glazes. Session three will center around more opaque brushwork. This is a great class for portfolio development. Instructor demonstrations and critiques are standard.
