In this course, students will expand their technical skills and ideas for self-expression through the genres of still life and portrait in oil. Learn to develop a unique style through choices in composition, subject matter, color, and approach to the painting process. We'll address the foundations of value, warm and cool color relationships, as well as methods for self-correction and problem solving. Conducted on Zoom, this online class will feature live demos and individual critique. It is accessible for complete beginners as well as those looking for guidance to take their work to the next level.
