This class will also aim to develop students' understanding of, and skills in, drawing from observation.

This painting course begins with instruction in basic colour theory, the principles of colour mixing, and the preparation of a surface on which artwork will be created. Students will be introduced to and will work with a range of media from acrylic paints to oils, inks and watercolour. Students will explore various techniques and work with a range of painting tools such as: soft and coarse brushes, palette knives, sponges and rollers.
